This week, we made some gluten-free pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chips. Around Candiland, I get really excited for Pumpkin Season. I have been working on more high protein, low carb recipes. I have also been working on more Gluten-Free recipes.

If you have been baking Gluten-Free for a while, you know the challenge with gluten-free cooking and baking is the light airiness of the item is going to be a little different. Gluten-Free Foods are usually a little denser. This might take some getting used to.
I don’t eat pancakes as much as I would like to, and especially since I have been eating more gluten-free recipes, you don’t find them in restaurants too often.
Substituting Ingredients for Gluten-Free and Vegan Pancakes
So I was excited to make this recipe, I could eat on occasion. The best part is my family doesn’t know it’s gluten-free pancakes. They really love that there are chocolate chips in the batter.
The tartness of the pumpkin disguises any difference in the flour, plus I use Coconut Milk and it adds a lot of flavor to these beauties.
You can use Vegan chocolate chips if you prefer. Or you can leave them out altogether. Make sure you get my Vegan substitution cheat sheet below
