This gluten-free pancake mix has traveled cross-country on road trips and has also flown both domestically and internationally. It’s given us a way to easily make a hearty gluten-free breakfast for our family of five wherever we go.
Gluten-free traveling can be difficult. Not only is it hard to find restaurants with many gluten-free offerings, it’s expensive. If we’re not camping or staying with family, we’ve gotten into the habit of renting accommodations with a kitchen. Being able to cook at least some of our meals makes life a lot easier (and cheaper).

For pancakes on longer trips, I put all the dry ingredients from this gluten-free pancake recipe in a plastic bag. Sometimes I’ll take several batches. Then, all I have to buy is milk, butter, and eggs. If needed, I’ll substitute more butter for the almond butter (2 T butter for 4 T almond butter in the full batch).
Note: I label the plastic bags with all the ingredients when we fly and haven’t had any issues with security.
My pancake mix is also a staple item for our camping trips when we have a cooler. For these trips, I make the batter ahead of time. I do usually need to add milk before cooking because it thickens when allowed to sit for extended periods of time. If we don’t have milk, we thin it with some water.

For some road trips, we’ve premixed the pancake batter and taken our camping stove. Rest areas work just fine for a homemade gluten-free breakfast. And they can give you a chance to move around, rather than going from sitting in the car to sitting in a restaurant.
We’ve had a lot of fun trips fueled by these pancakes. I’d love to hear where my gluten-free pancake mix travels with you!
