This is a Gluten-Free Dutch Baby Pancakes recipe that has been tried and true by my children that love this recipe! My kids would eat them every day if I let them.
This recipe is great for any time of day, but my favorite is for a breakfast or brunch. I have even made this recipe for dinner when I didn’t have anything else ready to cook.
These gluten-free Dutch Baby Pancakes are also dairy-free and sugar-free.
For people with a known potato intolerance, the tapioca starch can be substituted with arrowroot starch. (Tapioca starch doesn’t come from potato, but it is recommended to avoid it for its similarities for anyone with a potato intolerance.)
To make this a Paleo-friendly recipe just substitute the rice flour with cassava flour. However, the cassava flour doesn’t rise as well, but it still tastes good while sticking to a Paleo diet.
I like to top these pancakes with a drizzle of lemon juice from a freshly squeezed lemon. My children like them topped with cooked berries and/or maple syrup. To turn this into a dessert, I have even topped them with maple syrup and coconut ice cream, mmm, delicious!
I hope you enjoy this Gluten-Free Dutch Baby Pancakes recipe as much as my family has!
And now for the recipe…enjoy!
- ¾ cup brown or white rice flour (For a Paleo version, substitute with cassava flour)
- ¾ cup filtered water
- ½ cup tapioca starch (For a potato intolerance, substitute with arrowroot starch)
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 8 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place two large pans in the oven with a dollop of coconut oil on each. I use 2 large pizza pans that have a low rim, but any pan with a rim will work.
- Once the coconut oil melts brush the oil out to cover the pans surface.
- Add all the ingredients to a medium size mixing bowl and whisk until it forms a batter.
- Divide the batter between both preheated pans.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Slice with a pizza cutter and serve.
- Topping ideas: drizzle with the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon, cooked mashed berries, maple syrup, and/or coconut whipped cream.
We LOVE dutch babies! I’ll have to share this with my sister since she loves of gluten free recipes! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you, Chantal. My kids love this recipe so much it was hard for them to wait long enough for me to take the picture. It’s a real score to find a gluten-free recipe that is also sugar-free and hope your sister loves it too.
These look so good! I like the idea of using them as a dessert my kids would LOVE that! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Jennifer! My kids absolutely love when I let them put coconut ice cream on top which is a really special treat for them. I hope your kids love this recipe too!
Okay, so I’m kind of a disaster in the kitchen, and I love how easy this recipe is!! Sometimes the really healthy recipes lose me right away, but I can totally manage this! Thanks!!

Thanks, Tanya! I’m so happy to see you come by for a visit! I just checked out your website for the first time and I love it!!

Thank you, Cassie!
Can’t wait to try these as well! 😉 Tanya S. LOL!!
Wonderful, Tanya! Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
I just wanted to share that when I whip up this recipe I use my blender, which makes it really fast and easy to get all the ingredients thoroughly incorporated. Today I am also going to try putting some drops of lemon essential oil (doTERRA, of course!) in our maple syrup since I don’t have fresh lemons to juice for a topping. This recipe is awesome!
Thank you for sharing, Tanya! I’m so happy to hear that! I can’t wait to hear how it comes out with the doTERRA lemon essential oil drops added to the maple syrup!
