Vegan gluten free pancakes with chia seeds

February 9, 2019 by Emma 21 Comments

We love pancakes in our house – big, fluffy American ones! I know, I know, I do feel a bit of a traitor but I must admit it is one American tradition I have inherited from my husband and there’s no going back. These vegan gluten free pancakes made with chia seeds are a great freefrom version and will always be drizzled with the obligatory maple syrup!

They are easy to make – don’t let the chia egg put you off – and are a great protein packed start to the day. If you don’t have any chia seeds in the house, or are ok with gluten, then try my best vegan pancakes. Both are a great for a weekend brunch or even a midweek pre-school breakfast for the kids and can be frozen and reheated as necessary.

How to make vegan, gluten free pancakes

These pancakes are easy to make. You just need to leave an extra 15 minutes for your chia seeed egg to form in the fridge. After that, it’s just a case of mixing it all together.

Chia seeds are a great alternative to eggs and can be used in a whole variety of cooking and baking.

    Oh my goodness these look amazing! I am going to have to make your chia version rather than my usual egg one…especially when I run out of eggs which is often because we get through so many!

    We love pancakes too here! In fact, the children ask me almost daily to make pancakes and their current addiction is American-style pancakes with tons of syrup on top 🙂

      I feel I need to introduce them to proper crepes at some point though!

    Fantastic idea, I’m new to the world of chia and wish I’d used it before now, so easy to use and really effective in baking – all hail free from pancakes!

      It took me a while to get on the chia trail too, even though I had them sitting in the cupboard for ages.

    Ooh – these look fab. I’ve made lots of things with chia seeds before but I’ve never made a chia egg before – I rather fancy giving it a go. Whilst we are not egg free in this house, it would be a super useful trick if we run out of eggs and I know chia seeds are very nutritious! I am loving all these #FreeFromPancakes ideas – so much more interesting than the standard ones 🙂 Eb x

      I only tried them for the first time recently but they are really easy and a great protein punch.

    These look perfect, you would never know they were egg free! I so need to start doing this as I eat far too many eggs and I’m intolerant to egg whites (I know…I’m so naughty). We’re away at the moment but when I get home I’m definitely going to try with the chia as an egg replacement!

    They are so perfectly formed Emma! I have not heard of using a chia egg before. Would you say that it works as well as/better than a flax egg? Delicious!
