Gluten-Free Pineapple Pancake Bars

Gluten-Free Pineapple Pancake Bars may have your family fighting over who gets the next piece. By the way, these pancakes also have a crumb topping that puts these bars over the top. Not to mention, it is made with fresh pineapple and warming spices such as cinnamon that will have you craving more.  Once the aromas start wafting out of the oven everyone will gravitate to the kitchen asking “when the pancakes will be done”. Believe it or not, these pancakes have small bits of gluten-free refined sugar-free granola. Needless to say, that little bit of texture makes these pancakes all the more desirable. In fact, my family has already requested to have these again.

At any rate, fresh Pineapple and cinnamon pair nicely together, and once they start baking together, watch out. In fact, it is one of my go-to brunch recipes. Perfect for small groups, potlucks, church gatherings, or just your family. However, fancy enough to serve as a breakfast buffet or brunch. Consequently, it can be served at special events such as Valentine’s breakfast, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day Breakfast.

Most of the time when making pancakes they are either getting cold or I am stuck making pancakes while everyone else is eating warm pancakes. Under these circumstances, I end up eating pancakes alone. It is, therefore, why I wanted to create a recipe in which we could all sit down and eat together. In short, I really enjoy having time to eat as a family.

Gluten-Free Pineapple Pancake Bars:

Nevertheless, I am always trying to create a new recipe for my family as well as my readers. Not to mention, I also enjoy being able to sit down and enjoy breakfast together with my family. Moreover, people will ask where I get my ideas for my recipes. In any case, this one started with needing to use up a ripe fresh pineapple.

Granted, my picky eater was over the moon in love with this recipe and specifically told me, “You wrote that recipe down, right?” My husband said, “You have to make that again.” Indeed these little pancake bites are that good. Needless to say, you can cut them into big bars or small bars. I like various sizes so some were big and some were small.

In conclusion, these bars are dairy-free, refined sugar-free, vegetarian, paleo, and vegan-friendly. In any event, I was surprised that I was able to find grain-free granola bars to use in this recipe.

Notes:

In any case, feel free to read my blog posts Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Sweetener Information to learn more about them. To tell the truth, Amazon carries almond flour, cassava flour, aluminum-free baking powder, Hence, this goes well with Gluten-Free Ham and Bacon Quiche,  and a fruit platter that would round out any brunch buffet.
