Grain Free Dutch Babies

‘Round these parts, we really like pancakes. You’ve probably noticed that by all my pancake posts. Why do I like them so well? Honestly – they’re easy and everyone will eat them. I can’t say that about everything. Add to that fact that they’re stinkin’ delicious and you’ve got a winner without a chicken dinner.

Grain Free Dutch Babies

Enter, Bountiful Breakfasts (yes, FTC that’s an affiliate link…but I know you don’t really care since you get up late for “work” and likely don’t eat breakfast). I like to feature an eCookbook from my stash about once a month. This month, it’s this wonderful little gem from Sheri Graham.

Sheri uses natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup – which I love using. At only $2.99 for the Kindle version, you can’t go wrong. Your kids will hug you when you make her Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.

I switched out the whole wheat flour for some almond flour and coconut flour, just for kicks – and I added a few things like baking powder and vanilla…because really, what are pancakes without vanilla? NOTHING, just NOTHING. They should be outlawed.

Grain Free Dutch Babies

The way Dutch Babies work is, you put the pan in the oven with butter and get it nice and hot. Then you pull it back out and you pour in the batter and quickly stick it back in the oven. It usually raises up REALLY high like Mountain O’ Pancake. Wait – I just got distracted because I said butter. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, butter. Okay, moving on! I usually use a cast iron skillet, but Sheri said to use a pie pan, so I did…and it worked out quite nicely.

I used a combo of almond flour and coconut flour because I really enjoy the flavor that coconut lends to pancakes. I know you’re going to leave comments asking me what types of flour you can substitute. So, I’ll just go ahead and tell you the answer. Ready? I don’t know. I’ve only made them this way. So, if you want to use something else, proceed with caution – because there are pancakes involved…and an oven. Ever burned anything in the oven? It ain’t pretty. And a ruined dinner is another NIGHTMARE.

Also, when pouring the batter into the pans, make sure to spill some on the edges and over the side onto the stovetop. Thank you. Usually you do this quickly and hurry it back into the oven – but I needed a picture. So, don’t do like I do; do like I say.

Grain Free Dutch Babies

The whole house smelled like a Dutch bakery (or what I imagine a Dutch bakery to smell like). As you can see, I didn’t get the traditional PUFFY that you get from a regular Dutch Baby. I did get the little roll around the edge like I was looking for, though. Bingo, baby!

And what did we think? Everyone, even the kids enjoyed them – so now I have another recipe I can feed everyone! Hooray! The munchkins rejoice! Thanks, Sheri!

And now, I think I’ll return to calling them German Pancake – because talking about eating babies is just weirdo.

    I love German Pancakes and those sure look rich and dense, not like the puffy kind; but good all the same. Lynn, at Lynnskitchenadventures.com likes to bake pancakes in the oven for easy suppers without standing over the stove. Anyway, Lynn has a coconut flour Dutch baby recipe at Bob’s Red Mill blog site you may want to try for the more puffy type of German pancake. http://blog.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free/coconut-flour-oven-pancakes/ Still not as puffy as the wheat flour kind, since coconut flour is so dense (I bet you could get away with 3 Tablespoons of coconut flour).

    Oh, I make Panekugan (what we call Dutch Babies) almost every week! How great to have a substitute. My only question is…. an adult serving is really only 1/4 of a pie pan??? That’s only 1 egg. For a meal? Does that fill you up? Maybe my eyes are bigger than my stomach because I’m hungry right now. LOL

      No, a child serving is 1/4 of the pan. See I’m using two pie pans in the picture and that’s what it says in the recipe? Four adult servings divided by two pie pans is two adult servings per pie pan – or half of a pie pan. Make sense? 🙂

    These are one of the things we used to eat regularly (almost weekly!) before I became a THM. I have so missed them. Thanks for making it THM “legal”! I can’t wait to try it.
    We have always done ours in a ovenproof skillets (ie ones without wooden handles) because that’s what the “authentic” recipes stated, which is more dangerous than the great option you show here for pie plates.
    DUH! Why didn’t I think of using pie plates?

    Oh goodness. I am making these this morning for breakfast. Right now. Although I only have one pie plate. I know, not a big sweet baker here, BUT, I will use the cast iron for one and just be careful :p
