Pancakes, flapjacks, hotcakes… whatever you call this delicious breakfast stack, there is no denying that pancakes are one of America’s favorite breakfast meals. If you need a reason to treat yourself to a plate of syrupy, buttery, fluffy goodness, we’ve collected five delicious pancake recipes to please everyone. Including those on special diets, in celebration of National Pancake Day.
Gluten-Free Pancakes

Vegan Pancakes
No eggs, no milk, no problem! Finally, a vegan pancake recipe that doesn’t require any fancy or expensive egg substitutes. This recipe creates the perfect stack to top with vegan butter then pair with a side of tempeh bacon, tofu scramble, or both.
Paleo Pancakes
Grains and artificial sweeteners are off-limits when following a paleo diet, so you might have thought that your days of pancake breakfasts were behind you. However, this paleo pancake recipe substitutes traditional flour for a blend of almond, tapioca, and coconut flour. Recreating the fluffy pancakes you know and love, while still staying within nutritional guidelines of the paleo diet.
Keto Pancakes
Step aside, bacon! Or at least make a little room for the star of breakfast, pancakes! With pancakes traditionally being carb-laden, they aren’t your traditional high-fat keto breakfast. Thanks to a few extra eggs and coconut flour, this pancake recipe is keto-friendly, making them a great addition to the typical keto breakfast of eggs and bacon.
Low-Carb Pancakes
Following a low-carb diet means you’ve had your fair share of lettuce wrapped burgers, zoodles instead of noodles, and cauliflower “rice”. Fluffy pancake breakfasts are probably only something you dream of. However, with only 2g of net carbs per pancake, this low-carb pancake recipe fits perfectly into a low carb diet, making fluffy pancakes a reality.
Now the only real question is, what are you going to top your pancakes with? Will you keep it classic with butter and syrup? Make them fruity and top your stack with your favorite berries and whipped cream? Or opt for the best of both worlds and top with bacon and maple syrup?
As a reminder, before making any changes to your dietary regimen, always check with your healthcare provider first to determine what is right for you.
