Some foods just seem to have been named by or for children. Toad in the Hole? Pigs in Blankets? Dutch Baby? The latter was actually rumored to have been named by a kid. Dutch baby pancakes were derived from German Pfannkuchen and it’s said that a man who owned a café in the 1900s made this type of pancake and the name was then coined by his daughter. It may be a funny name, but it’s a delicious dish!
Here I’ve made a Gluten Free Dutch Baby Pancake recipe that is super simple. You can easily whip this up on a weekend morning and let it bake while you get your coffee going and wash some fresh berries for topping. It’s such a simple recipe but it will get your day started on the right foot by making the morning feel special.
Recipe notes: I like to make sure I start the morning off by using quality ingredients, like cage free eggs (I like Nature’s Yoke), non-GMO gluten free flour, and organic milk, butter, and berries.
Gluten Free Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large cage-free eggs
- ½ cup gluten free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 lemon
- Powdered sugar, for serving
- Fresh berries, for serving (if desired)
Instructions
- Place a 9- or 10-inch skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, and salt, beating well. When the oven has heated, carefully remove the pan from the oven, add the butter, and swirl the pan to melt the butter and coat the pan. Immediately pour the batter into the pan and return it to the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven, squeeze the lemon over the pancake and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately, topped with berries (if desired).

Can I use coconut milk and ghee to make it vegan?
Hi Patricia,
Yes, you could use coconut milk. I’d suggest full-fat canned coconut milk. And yes, you can try it with ghee and that should work – but because ghee comes from cow’s milk/cream, it isn’t vegan, so you could use vegan buttery sticks/spread for a vegan alternative if you’d like. Hope this helps!
