I simply adore pancakes and these Apple Cinnamon Pancakes are my lifesavers after no longer being able to tolerate eggs or dairy. My two always used to enjoy Pancake Day every Tuesday in our hose growing up, I’d pick them up from nursery at lunch time and they’d leave the staff green with envy when they would exclaim excitedly ‘Yay! Pancake Day’!
We still have pancakes of a frequent basis as this is still one of Lewis’ favourite foods, I couldn’t miss out, as I myself am a huge pancake fan so it was important to me that I developed a quick and simple recipe so that I could enjoy eating pancakes with the family. That was when I created my Apple Cinnamon Pancakes and I’ve been a happy mummy ever since, never feeling as if I’m missing out.
Different ways to serve these Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
In the image is this post I’ve decided to enjoy my Apple Cinnamon Pancakes with a handful of blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup and a splodge of dairy free ice cream. Other ways I love to eat them is with slices of banana and a dark chocolate syrup. Strawberries and dark chocolate are a delicious combination so too is making a quick stewed fruit compote out of a chopped diced apple, a few sultanas dribble of water and a pinch of cinnamon. To be fair, the possibilities are endless, get creative.

Now it’s my turn to show you how I make my Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Pancakes. I had the idea on Monday, tested it out all day on Tuesday, perfected it and filmed it on Thursday, so here you have it; Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Egg Free Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.
These simple to make American style pancakes are perfect for those following a gluten free diet and are also intolerant or allergic to dairy or eggs. So versatile, they go with a whole manner of exciting toppings, let you imagination run wild.
- 50 g apple puree
- 80 g gluten free self raising flour I used Free From Fairy SR Flour
- 80 ml dairy free milk I used almond milk
- 20 ml cold water
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- I always have cooking apples in the freezer so was able to cook up some fresh and puree them, if you don't have any cookers to hand you can use apple pie filling or puree from a jar.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender or a smoothie mixer and whizz for 30 seconds until completely blended.
- Heat a good trustworthy frying pan and if necessary add a teeny bit of oil (I use coconut, but to be fair my pan doesn't need to be oil for this type of pancake)
- Pour a dollop of mixture into the centre of the pan, you're aiming for a circle the size of a drinks coaster!
- Fry until the topside appears dry and all the tiny air bubbles have popped.
- Flip the pancake over and fry for about 30 seconds
- Repeat until all the mixture is used up; approx 8 times
For topping ideas you can drizzle with maple syrup or another favourite sauce. I personally love a scoop of dairy free ice cream on top so it melts down the side of your pancake stack - enjoy!
This video on how to make my Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Pancakes makes me laugh, it’s not a recent one now and I’ve become a little less like a block of wood on camera, but I’m keeping it here because it makes me giggle!

Awesome recipe and awesome video! Love it. Also love the idea of putting apple puree in instead of eggs. Fab! And look at that snazzy kitchen ;)!
I’m going to cook up some more apples (got three bags in my freezer) I’m going to try to make up ice cubes of purée and see if adding a couple to each cake/muffin recipe adds moisture…only issue with that is the cakes storage life…but shouldn’t be an issue in this house! Yes! It is a special kitchen, I am very humbled by it and how lucky I am xxx
They sound great! Vicki’s flour is so fab, and apple and cinnamon is always a winning combo :)
I love Vicki’s flour, makes me feel healthy ? Apple and Cinnamon is a wonderful combo, a match made in heaven x
Great recipe! I’m definitely going to give it a go as it’s safe for my girlie! I always find cook along videos fascinating to watch. Great idea to use your smoothie maker to make your batter. I always use my blender too for pancake batter as it’s so quick and easy, there are no lumps. I am so jealous of your kitchen! Mine is the weak spot in my house (so tiny you can touch opposite walls with both arms stretched out… Wow, is that actually scales on your hob??? Oh my goodness, can I just move in with you? Or at least come in for a week or so and film videos with you in your home hahaha. So happy for you to be part of our harmless gang!
Lol, the scales are separate too the hub, but now I want scales in my hob…how cool would that be! You’re welcome to come and blog in my kitchen anytime, we can all gather in there…too many cooks in the kitchen? ??
Oooh Rebecca – I have serious kitchen envy!! If I had a kitchen like yours I would definitely make videos (or at least have to come up with a different reason why I don’t make videos!!) May I ask where your kitchen is from – I am currently researching ideas as we would really like to get ours updated…one day! :-) Your recipe is also lovely. I made something similar last year for pancake day (though not free from) so I know how well those flavours work in a pancake. Loving all the #FreeFromPancakes ideas. :-) Eb x
I still pinch myself each morning when I come downstairs, I’m so lucky to have my new kitchen. It was a small business local to us, hubby is a site manager and this is a three man business they used to work on his sites but set up on their own. I loved listening to them working, it was like listening to the Chuckle Brothers…only with great results and less disaster! ?
Well it is totally gorgeous. I’m not surprised you pinch yourself – I certainly would! Thanks also for linking your lovely recipe up to #CookBlogShare :-) Eb x
The recipe looks so easy. I can’t wait to try it.
So easy it would be daft not to ;-)
Bob loves pancakes so I’m always looking for recipes. These look good.
I love pancakes too…can never get enough…I’ve promised my son pancakes tomorrow for lunch ‘big ones’ as these are his favourite!
I haven’t eaten good nice pancakes in so long, this recipe looks so quick and easy! Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely going to try this out :)

Great recipe! and love the video! I always love seeing videos from fellow bloggers. It always makes me smile when they look and sound so different to how I imagine and I am always in awe of their confidence in front of the camera. I am not sure I would ever be able to do it!!!
Haha, that was me wearing my youtube mask! I’m nervous of meeting people in real life. ;-)
Oh wow, they look amazing! Love the addition of apple puree, and they are so neat too! My pancakes never seem to stay the same size and shape! :)
Thank you, like I said in the vlog, I’m a wee bit fussy about neatness lol!
Hey Rebecca, these look awesome. Almost like dropped scones. yummy Jo x
They’re really lovely as I’ve shown here with dairy free icecream, but even better still; icecream, bananas and dark chocolate sauce mmmmmm ;-)
Oh I love apple and cinnamon it is such a classic flavour combination! x
A real comfort food I find <3
Such a fab recipe, love it!! They look awesome! You can’t beat apple and cinnamon together, they just work! x
