It was the summer of 2016, camping at Lost Lake in Oregon, when I fell in love with granola pancakes.<\/p>\n

Weekends and camping trips will never be the same again! We think you’ll agree once you taste these delicious light and fluffy cakes.<\/p>\n

Make and share this recipe and start a flapjack fever.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These light and fluffy pancakes can be modified any way you like.<\/p>\n

If you’re in the mood for just plain pancakes, leave out the granola. We love chocolate chip and substitute Enjoy Life’s mini chips for the granola when we’re in the mood for chocolate.<\/p>\n

This batter also welcomes blueberries, pineapple, bananas or apples and more. Try with your favorites.<\/p>\n

We know you’ll love this granola<\/a>. However, if you are short on time, you can always use your favorite store bought brand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To make the batter, in a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, xanthan gum (if using) and salt. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, whisk together alternative milk and lemon juice, letting sit for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Preheat electric griddle or skillet to medium or medium-high. We love to use our cast iron skillet, which holds and distributes the heat so well. The pancakes cook faster and brown beautifully.<\/p>\n

Add applesauce and oil to the milk, followed by dry ingredients. Whisk until just moistened. Don’t worry about a few small lumps. Fold in granola. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Once your griddle or skillet is hot, lightly grease and ladle about 1\/3 cup batter onto the griddle. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Bubbles will break the surface. Flip pancake and cook until golden brown, another 2-3 minutes, depending on the heat source.<\/p>\n

Garnish with granola and serve with maple syrup.<\/p>\n

What’s really fun is serving these to someone who has no idea they are free from gluten and the top 8 food allergens. They will not believe it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Enjoy and be the breakfast hero!<\/p>\n
