Breakfast.
Glorious breakfast.
It’s the most important meal of the day, and quite honestly…my favorite meal of the day. I could eat breakfast food all day and never get tired of it. It’s so versatile. You can flavor it however you want. You can make it savory or sweet. Yes…breakfast is the meal of champions and I never skimp on it.
On Sunday night, my roommate opened up the pantry and spotted my Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix and declared that she was craving pancakes and…perhaps…we could have that for breakfast the following morning. When I asked what kind of pancakes she wanted, she deflected it back to me. She didn’t care. She just wanted pancakes.
So, after a run that morning, I returned home and settled into my apron with the needed supplies and with a few ingredients tossed in, what emerged was these glorious little griddle cakes.
Recipe: Gluten-Free Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pancakes

Servings: 4
Time: Prep 10 minutes; Cook 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- splash of vanilla (gluten-free)
Directions:
Combine the ingredients in a large bowl.
Blend all ingredients by whisking vigorously in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Let batter stand and preheat a nonstick griddle to medium-high temperature. Lightly oil or spray griddle with cooking or baking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle and cook until the top is bubbly. Turn and cook until golden brown. Adjust the temperature as needed.
Spread with a little margarine, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, then drizzle with gluten-free maple syrup.
Enjoy!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I threw this together that morning. But they were really good. And the roommate approved, which is good as she was the one craving pancakes. I think the combination of brown sugar and cinnamon is delicious and when it’s drizzled with hot maple syrup…magic.
Getting bored with blueberry or chocolate chip or just plain pancakes…give these little flapjacks a try.
