The Secret of Simple Gluten Free Pancakes Camping

The secret to simple gluten free pancakes camping is found in a box!  If you want something already made up, and ready to throw in the car, these pancakes are easy, healthy and tasty.  All of my children liked them. (If you prefer to make them from scratch check out this post.)

Pancake ​Recipe:

  • ​1/3 cup water or milk (or coconut or almond milk)
  • ​3 T. avocado oil (or coconut oil)

Pancake Instructions:

  1. Mix eggs, milk, and oil together in a bowl with a whisk
  2. Add pancake mix and whisk together
  3. Pour batter onto a hot griddle  (Mine is usually at a medium low setting.)
  4. Turn over once bubbly and more solid on top.  They should not be too dark brown, but a light tan.

​Special Notes:

  • ​​We serve these with butter and syrup / peanut butter, bananas and syrup / applesauce.  


  • Serve right away or put them in a pan (I love these because they are so versatile for any needs in your camping kitchen or regular kitchen) with a lid or towel on top to keep warm.  

​​Things Children Can Do To Help:

  • ​​​Crack the eggs for you into a bowl (my 4, 6, 7 and 10 year old can all do this).
    Measure the almond/coconut milk (if older can measure it  

Let Them Help

  • ​Mix the wet ingredients and then dry ingredients together with a whisk or spoon.  Littler ones can do this, but my older ones like this too!
  • ​An older one can ladle the batter onto the griddle and be taught when to turn the pancakes.  My 4 year old likes to help with this, but I can’t leave her at the stove where my 7 and 10 year old boys can do this without worry about the stove.  
  • Set the picnic table
