Growing up, my four younger sisters and I would spend the holiday season and a big chunk of the summer with my Grandma Ann & Grandpa Earl.
One of our favorite experiences at Grandma & Grandpa’s was all the delish homemade food that Grandma made us. (That and roller skating in their basement.)
Grandma made her famous German Pancakes almost every visit.
But when I went gluten-free, sugar-free (and more), my German Pancake days were SEEMINGLY over.
Recently, my mom shared Grandma’s recipe and my inspiration was sparked.
Could I make Grandma’s German Pancakes in a healthy, Kristian-friendly way?
This recipe confirms that in fact I can! (And you can too :)). tHIS RECIPE IS A GREAT HOLIDAY BRUNCH OR DINNER OR JUST AN EVERYDAY MEAL RECIPE.
Ingredients:
- 6 farm fresh or organic eggs, beaten
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1t sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free baking flour
- 4 T of grass-fed butter or vegan butter or coconut butter
- 1 organic lemon
- Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute
- 2 glass pie pans
Step one: Preheat oven to 425.
Step two: Beat 6 eggs, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1t sea salt and 1 cup gluten free baking flour all together.
Step three: In each pie pan, melt 2 T of butter in the bottom – by placing the pans in the oven for a few minutes. Remove once butter has melted.
Step four: Pour half the batter into each pie pan.
Step five: Bake for 25 minutes together until your pancake looks like the one featured in the photo.
Step six: Remove and enjoy with lemon juice and Swerve confectioners sugar substitute sprinkled over each piece.
Bless these beauties and enjoy the deliciousness! Xx

I made this today and it good. The top was crispy but the bottom is soggy It is supposed to be?
Hello Lynn! Where are you located and are making this? If you’re at a higher altitude it can affect how high it raises and how quickly it deflates. If the bottom is soggy you perhaps used too much butter on the bottom or too much milk? What kind of plant-based milk and flour are you using? Let me know and we can troubleshoot this. XOKristian
