Gluten-Free Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes Delight
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
- 0 none Maple syrup, for serving
- 0 none Crushed graham crackers, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, taking care to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour a ladleful (about 1/4 cup) of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pancake and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with crushed graham crackers for that cheesecake flavor twist.
💡 Chef's Notes
Stack the pancakes high on a plate and garnish with additional fresh strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a light dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful finish.
