Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Twist Pancakes

My hubby tries to stay away from gluten products so we've been experimenting with different recipes and flours for several years.  I came across this vegan pancake recipe about a year old from Fat Free Vegan and I've tweaked it a bit to be gluten free.

I follow her recipe except for the flour.  I use brown rice flour or since my hubby can tolerate spelt, I can also use 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 spelt.  Tapioca starch and brown rice flour would be another good combo.  I've tried sorghum flour but it's very gummy in the pancakes.  The other tip I learned a long time ago is to use warm water to mix the egg replacer.  It's supposed to make to foamier (is that a word?).  

These are uh-mazing!  Truly restaurant quality!

Here are the photo montage:

Mix until just moistened.

You mix two TBSP's of batter with the cinnamon and applesauce for the twist topping.

We bought this electric griddle while we were waiting for our new stove to be ordered and we still use it almost daily even though the new stove is here!  Pam cooking spray and/or oil is not needed since the pancakes don't stick to the teflon.  The bonus is the stovetop stays cleaner!

This is my cute photographer being silly.

Plated up with a little maple syrup.  Yummo!!
