When I was at my daughter’s house babysitting recently, she purchased some Simple Mills Gluten Free Pancake Mix. I thought I’d give it a try and was bowled over with how delicious they turned out. If you know me, I just had to create a recipe for everyone to make them at home to save money; and that I did! They turned out just as delicious, too! This mix may be used to meet other baking needs besides pancakes. Try using it in recipes calling for Bisquick. You can even use the listed substitute to make vegan gluten free pancakes.
When I was at my daughter’s house, I used So Delicious Vanilla Almond Milk to make them, but you can use water, or other gluten free milk and add vanilla or even banana or almond extract if desired.
While the box instructions do not explain how to make this recipe egg-free, I do. See the substitution suggestions below:
2 tablespoons liquid from a can of cannellini beans + 1 tablespoon butter or dairy-free margarine = 1 egg.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Our family loves the “Simple Mills” Banana Muffins & Pumpkin muffins as well. Any chance you could please post the “copy cat” recipe for these? We would be grateful ❤️
Thanks Carla! The simple mills recipes don’t sell to contain oil or vanilla. Do you think it can turn out well without that? I’d rather not add oil to mine as I’m sensitive to oils. Thanks so much !!
Natalia,
You can substitute the vanilla with pure maple syrup and the oil with melted an cooled unsalted butter.

Good Morning Carla,
I like the Simple Mills pancakes although I add a little more milk because they're just to thick..... Saying that, I'm going to try your recipe this morning and, I'm really looking forward to it but, I have a question. The only item I see missing from the original Simple Mills ingredients is salt. Is there a reason you left it out? And, do you have any idea how much you think I should add if I wish to add it?
Johanna,
Add 1/8 teaspoon salt and if it’s not enough for you, next more next time.
Carla
Hello!
These are SO good!! We love Simple Mills pancake mix, but they are so pricey for a family of 5. Really happy I found your recipe! They hit the spot. I sometimes add 1 tsp of cocoa powder since I love their chocolate ones too. So yummy.
Thank you!
I just discovered the Simple Mills GF pancake mix in a box and was hoping to find a copy cat recipe, as a small box is about $8.00. I bought all the ingredients and can’t wait to mix them up. Thank you for this! 😁
Hi Carla! This was delish as one serving but we need a larger quantity. Do you have an increased recipe? We multiplied by 5 and it had a weird after taste, too much cream of tartar? Thanks!
Allison,
When you make a larger batch, it does not change the ratio of ingredients neither does it change the flavor. I can only assume either made an error in measuring something or did not mix it well.

Wow with a name like Liv you sound like a Karen. How rude to come and bitch about a free recipe. I enjoyed this dupe Carla, thank you for sharing!
Michelle,
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this recipe. It didn't turn out bad for a first attempt. I keep meaning to get back to it because I have a ton of almond and coconut flour to use up. I plan on using 3 tablespoons of almond flour and 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder on my next attempt.
Carla
Terrible! I tripled the recipe and it made 5 pancakes. I’m not sure why you would put a recipe for only one serving. Very odd!!
Luv,
We only have two people in our household; sometimes just me, and when I’m creating a new recipe, I often test out a small batch. Meanwhile, this recipe makes four 1/4-cup batter pancakes. I don not suggest making them larger. With gluten-free recipes, smaller turns out lighter, fluffier, and full cooked inside without overcooking the outside.
In addition, these are healthier, lower carb pancakes. Check out over 30 gluten free pancake recipes: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/category/recipes/breakfast-recipes/pancakes-recipes/. The gluten free banana pancakes are my favorite: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/banana-pancakes/.

My girls LOVED them thank you!
Hi Carla!
We love this recipe so much! Is the oil only for the pan or do you add some of it to the batter?
Amy,
I’m so happy that you enjoyed this recipe. The 2 teaspoons of oil is for the batter. You need to use more for your skillet.
