I’ve been contemplating what new gluten free Valentines’ Day recipes to post in the coming days. I wanted to make some gluten free red velvet pancakes using buttermilk, but since I didn’t have any, I needed a substitute. You know how you can make homemade buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (or white) to 1 cup of regular milk? Well, I decided to use some heavy whipping cream instead. The results? Absolutely amazing pancakes!
In essence, I made creme fraiche (soured cream), similar to buttermilk, but using cream.
Vinegar is always added to red velvet pancakes and baked goods because it masks the bitter flavor of artificial food coloring. No bitter taste, here! You could taste a slight hint of chocolate, and the rest just rich, moist, and a little sweet.
These pancakes were like eating a dessert, and not a gluten free one, either. You have to try these at least once. I towered the one in the photo below for a young boy, “Red Volcano Pancakes”. Enjoy!
With a light taste of chocolate, and the richness of whipping cream, these gluten free red velvet pancakes are hands down the best pancakes I've ever had, gluten free or not!

*Feel free to increase the cocoa powder, up to 2 tablespoons (6 teaspoons), if you desire a heavier chocolate flavor. The color will darken, though.
