Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe Dairy & Gluten Free
The following recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes uses a combination of soy milk and vinegar to make your own dairy free sour butter milk, and Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake mix for the flour. Just add an egg and maybe some blueberries (or carob chips) if you like and you’re in business. Use an egg substitute and you are set for Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes!
Buttermilk Pancakes are such a special breakfast in our house. I know several people who really enjoy their pancakes as a “breakfast-for-dinner” meal.
However you partake of your pancakes, it can be difficult to find a really good gluten-free recipe for my favorite type of Pancakes: SourMilk. This recipe is easy and delicious and uses NO dairy! Let me know how you like these pancakes in the comments.
Organic Facts has this to say about sour milk benefits:
Sour Milk Benefits
There are many benefits to sour milk which may also include its effects on digestion, immune system, heart health, and toxicity in the body, among others.
May Aid in Digestion
The bacterial cultures found in this fermented milk may help your stomach break down food more easily, and will help to prevent constipation, bloating, and cramping. There may also be less lactose in sour milk, making it ideal for those with lactose intolerance. [3]
May Help Eliminate Toxins
Studies have found that sour milk may help to stimulate the function of the liver and pancreas, thus helping to eliminate more toxins from the body. [4]
May Boost Immunity
This type of fermented milk may possess a wide range of nutrients, vitamins, and active ingredients that the immune system needs to function, including vitamin A, zinc, potassium, selenium, iodine, and calcium. [5]
May Reduce Allergies
Fermented milk may have been found to have less of an allergenic effect on those who are sensitive to milk; it may help to suppress unnecessary immune responses.
May Control Cholesterol
Research has shown that regular consumption of sour milk may help lower overall cholesterol levels, which can aid in improving heart health and lowering your risk of heart attacks and strokes. [6]
Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe:
Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe Dairy & Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 cup scant cup soy milk
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 egg feel free to Substitute 1 tbsp flaxseed blended with 2 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries drained, or fresh blueberries, or carob chips
Instructions
- Start by making your "buttermilk". Pour out a scant cup of unsweetened soy milk, and add the 2 tsp of vinegar to it. Let it sit at least 5 minutes. It is important to use plant milk with some fat in it like, soy, coconut or similar.
- While the "buttermilk" is sitting, add the beaten egg and vegetable oil to the bagged pancake mix. Mix by hand until just combined. Then add the "buttermilk" and stir until just moistened.
- The batter will be lumpy. That's ok.
- On a hot, oiled griddle, spoon out slightly less than 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for about 4 minutes (until bubbling), and flip. The pancakes are done when they're golden brown on both sides.
- Savor with some fresh maple syrup.

I love to make gluten & dairy-free pancakes. I use a recipe found in 1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes by Carol Fenster, but I think I’ll try this one next time.
I love to make pancakes on the weekends. I will use this recipe and then my daughter who was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease will be able to eat them too.
My best friend just started her toddler on a dairy free diet due to some digestive issues – i am going to share this recipe with her! thanks so much for sharing!
I love pancakes.. yum yum. I tried soy milk for the first time after reading another one of your reciepe posts it is not bad I must say. Kids did not like it
Were they just drinking it? I like Almond milk much better to drink….and I usually add a bit of water because the store milks are too rich.
Oh these looks so good! I’d love to try these
failry easy and sounds good!
I enjoy Bob’s mixes as they taste like the real thing. I have not tried the flax seed substitution for egg…but have used chia seeds before. I will say when I stay away from dairy, I feel much better. Thanks for the tips.
I just recently turned vegan, so I’m definitely going to be making these very soon! They look absolutely delicious.
Thanks Giuliana G. Let us know how your vegan journey is going! Flip through my recipes tabs. Most all my recipes are vegan or have substitutes for vegan
