Gluten Free Pancakes with Supreme Strawberry Topping

Gluten Free Pancakes with Supreme Strawberry Topping are absolutely awesome. My niece, Heather, sent me a delicious strawberry glaze for pancakes a couple of years ago and I finally got around to trying it. The original recipe is simple–only 3 ingredients and I even substituted honey for the sugar in the recipe and it still turned out wonderfully.

I whipped up another batch of gluten free pancakes yesterday and decided I wanted to try out this topping. I had to scrounge around in all my refrigerators before finding my last few strawberries. I had just enough to make a single batch of this recipe.

Had I had a good stock of strawberries on hand like I usually do, I probably would have made several batches of this exquisite strawberry topping. I also would have ladled it on to each pancake before topping with another pancake on top for more of the delicious strawberry flavor. As it was I served these pancakes with both maple syrup and the strawberry topping. (Yes, I know that sounds a little gluttonous).

I would do only two things differently next time I make this (in addition to making a LOT more of the sauce. If I’d had enough strawberries I would have added some sliced strawberries to the batter. Even though I added additional milk this time to the recipe, I think the recipe is better with some kind of  fruit in the batter.

This recipe turned out so tasty. It’s a delicious recipe for a holiday breakfast (like Valentine’s Day) or a special occasion brunch, birthday, or even having breakfast for dinner! Consider making Gluten Free Pancakes with Supreme Strawberry Topping the next time you want to make a special breakfast for your family. Your kids will love the sweet strawberry topping. And your spouse will appreciate the simple pleasure of a wonderful comfort meal for breakfast. Enjoy!

When I initially posted this recipe in February 2013, it was at the beginning stages of my venture into making gluten free foods. I was also still using an iPhone for a camera so my pictures never did justice to the delicious recipes I was making.

I’ve been systematically going through all of my older recipes and remaking them so I can retake pictures that are a little more satisfying to me and to you! I recently remade this recipe (June 2015) since I had a lot of strawberries on hand, and the outcome was even better than before. This time I included strawberry extract in the pancake batter (along with strawberries) which really increased flavor.

Whether you serve Gluten Free Pancakes with Supreme Strawberry Topping for a special occasion, birthday, anniversary, holiday or just a large country breakfast on Saturdays, this is one recipe you will love. If you don’t have gluten intolerance you can always use regular flour in the recipe, too.

I used these ingredients to make the Supreme Strawberry Topping.

Slice about a third of the strawberries in half. Add strawberries to a saucepan with a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 cup honey. If you don’t have problems with sugar, the recipe originally calls for 1/3 cup sugar.  Saute strawberries over low to medium heat for 5-10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

Mix cornstarch with water.  Add cornstarch mixture to strawberries to thicken the sauce.

Allow topping to cook a few more minutes to thicken. If desired, you can puree part of the sauce with an immersion blender, but  I didn’t do that.

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or griddle
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 2 wooden spoons
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 medium sauce pan
  • 1 blender
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

PANCAKES:

  • 1 cup gluten free flour (I prefer Cup4Cup)
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar or honey
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. strawberry extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • maple syrup, if desired but not needed

SUPREME STRAWBERRY TOPPING:

  • 1 pint strawberries cleaned and stemmed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. water

Instructions
 

PANCAKES:

  • Stir gluten free flour, egg, oil, honey, milk, and vanilla only until lumps disappear.
  • Gently fold in strawberries.
  • Cook on preheated (375°-400°) lightly oiled griddle or pan, turn when bubbles form on surface and edges begin to dry.
  • Use less liquid for thicker pancakes.
  • Use more liquid for thinner pancakes.
  • This made six 5” pancakes.

SUPREME STRAWBERRY TOPPING:

  • Cut about 1/3 of the strawberries in half.
  • In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine strawberries, sugar (or honey) and vanilla.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch and water and add to strawberry mixture.
  • Cook a couple of minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a blender, puree about 1/3 of sauce, then mix back into remainder.
  • Spoon strawberry topping over pancakes.
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Notes

NOTE: You will probably want to double the Strawberry Topping recipe for this amount of pancakes.
 
NOTE: I did not have enough strawberries to add them to the pancake batter AND make the sauce, but I've left them in the recipe in case you desire to serve them this way.
 
NOTE: You can also use an immersion blender if desired.
 
NOTE: I did not puree part of the berries the second time I made this recipe.
 
NOTE: I do not recommend using Pamela's gluten free pancake and baking mix for this (or any) recipe. The flavor is off. Even Walmart's inexpensive Great Value brand gluten free flour is a better option in my opinion.
 
NOTE: The Supreme Strawberry Topping is equally good made with either sugar or honey.
