How to Serve Pumpkin Herb Gluten-Free Pancakes

These pancakes are best served warm. You can stack them high on a plate and drizzle with maple syrup or top with a dollop of pumpkin puree. Adding fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cinnamon can enhance the flavors. They pair well with warm apple cider or a cup of herbal tea for a cozy meal.

How to Store Pumpkin Herb Gluten-Free Pancakes

If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Place parchment paper between the pancakes and wrap them tightly before freezing to prevent sticking.

Tips to Make Pumpkin Herb Gluten-Free Pancakes

• Make sure to measure your gluten-free flour correctly for the best texture.
• Adjust the amount of herbs to suit your taste; you can use more or less depending on how strong you want the flavor.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Variation

For a sweeter pancake, add chocolate chips or dried cranberries to the batter. You can also try different herbs like sage or basil for a unique flavor.

FAQs

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Yes, if you are not concerned about gluten, regular all-purpose flour works well.

Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
Yes, simply use a dairy-free milk alternative like almond milk or oat milk.

How can I make these pancakes fluffier?
Make sure not to overmix the batter. Leave some lumps for a lighter texture. Additionally, ensure your baking powder is fresh as old leavening agents can affect fluffiness.
