Gluten Free Pigs In A Blanket Recipe

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Gluten free pigs in a blanket are a fun breakfast treat. The minute you bite into these fluffy pancakes with slightly crispy edges and discover the spicy breakfast sausage inside, you’ll know it’s going to be a special day.

Seriously, though, they’re quite delicious.

Fluffy pancakes hugging savory sausages, ready to be devoured in a single bite.

gluten free pigs in a blanket: savory sausages wrapped in fluffy gluten free pancakesThese babies are so delicious; they’ll have everyone at the breakfast table asking for seconds. And the best part? They’re super easy to whip up, even on those hectic mornings when you’re juggling a million things.

So, grab your apron and let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

  • gluten free pancake mix prepared according to package directions (you’ll most likely need an egg, oil, and milk) Or opt for homemade pancakes like my recipe to Make Easy Pancakes from Scratch with Gluten-Free Bread or tantalizing Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!
  • gluten free sausages
  • butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

First, prepare your pancake batter in a large bowl.

Now generously grease your griddle or skillet with butter over a medium heat until hot, but not smoking.

Pour a quarter cup of batter for each pancake onto your skillet. When the edges start to brown, lift with a spatula and flip. Brown and remove to a plate.

Meanwhile, cook your sausages.

Then wrap each pancake around a cooked gluten free sausage. And that’s it. Easy peasy.

Serving suggestions

Dust each with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup and watch them disappear. You might prefer a pat of butter, honey, jam, candied nuts, or whipped cream. I also love serving these with fresh fruit like strawberries. Or for something fun, try Strawberry Tanghulu.

Then pair with a generous helping of Irresistible Roasted Potatoes, crispy Oven-Cooked Bacon, and a smoothie recipe like this Large-Batch Smoothie or your favorite hot beverage on the side. It’s a hearty and satisfying combination that’s sure to please.

Pro tips and recipe notes

    • While the pancake mix I’m using today suggests using water, I’ve found that using milk instead enhances the flavor of the batter. So, if you can tolerate milk, I recommend giving it a try. I think you’ll like them that way. 
    • Go with your favorite pancake mix. Today, I used Pamela’s gluten free baking & pancake mix for the pancake. I’ve also made this recipe with King Arthur Gluten Free pancake mix. It has a touch of honey flavor in it. Yum. 
    • Choose your favorite sausages. I like Applegate Farms sausage because they’re not only gluten free, but also antibiotic free, with no added hormones. Or sausages by Amylu Foods Breakfast Time Chicken Mini Links. You may prefer Jones sausage which are all natural and gluten free, too. 
    • Preheat your griddle on medium before pouring your batter on so that they’ll start to cook as soon as they hit the pan, but not too hot that they’ll scorch.
    • Wipe you griddle after every batch and use a new pat of butter so that your butter doesn’t burn.

      Hi Annett,
      I’m a little behind in replying to all these wonderful comments from UBC. I just stopped by your blog and read your post from July 11. I am guilty as charged, as well. Love my family and homeschooling and cooking up special meals. Not everyone has to avoid gluten, but I hope you enjoy some of these recipes.
      God bless
