These light, tender, and fluffy gluten-free red velvet pancakes are delicious and mimic the taste of a red velvet cupcake. They are perfect for the holidays, a special treat, or even a fun breakfast. These pancakes have crushed Oreos and pure vanilla extract in the batter to give them a smooth rounded flavor. Not only that, but we used our vanilla syrup to make a tasty vanilla maple syrup. But wait, there’s more! These pancakes also have a vanilla glaze that mimics cream cheese frosting. Imagine a red velvet cake, but in pancake form, and that’s what this pancake recipe is! You can take it one step further and add crumbled Oreo to your stack!
Red velvet cake comes from taking a vanilla cake and adding some cocoa and red food coloring to give the cake a red flavor with a chocolaty taste and a slightly tart edge. These pancakes are flavored the same way and are great for a family breakfast or even a special treat.

How to Make Red Velvet Pancakes
These red velvet pancakes might look hard to make, but looks can be deceiving because these delicious pancakes are no more complicated than regular pancakes. All you have to do is mix all the pancake ingredients in a bowl using a whisk. Add the red food coloring, and fold in the crushed Oreos. Next, heat coconut oil in a pan and place the batter in circles 2 inches apart. Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles (approximately 2-4 minutes), then flip and repeat.
