Grain Free Dutch Baby from spinachtiger

A dutch baby is a German pancake that is baked in a skillet. As it bakes, it puffs up and is ready for fruit.  I’ve made an apple dutch baby here and a sausage dutch baby here with all purpose flour, but they could easily be adapted with grain free flours. I’ll come back and do that in another post.

I used two grain-free flours in this grain-free dutch baby recipe, almond flour and coconut flour to get the taste I was looking for. If you follow me on instagram I told you that I was going to test and retest this recipe until I got a recipe worthy of sharing.

I kept my word. In total, I made four versions of my grain free dutch baby, until it tasted remarkable and had a puffy texture that wasn’t eggy.

Testing the Grain Free Dutch Baby Over and Over

This is how Spinach Tiger works when it comes to foundational recipes. I knew if I could get a good basic recipe, I would be able to go many ways with this, including some savory options that I will show you in the future.

I made four different variations of almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda vs. baking powder, sour cream vs. plant based milk and on the 5th version, I got exactly what I was looking for. In some versions, the almond flour dominated too much and in some cases, it was too eggy. I think my version is just right.



The 5th recipe: 1/3 cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon coconut flour, 3 extra large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup sour cream and we loved it. To this I added both orange and vanilla extract which didn’t overpower but balanced out the almond flour.

As far as a sweetener and confectioner’s sugar, I used powdered erythritol (Swerve). You can also top with fresh berries. Read here why I use Swerve as my sweetener.

  1. We loved your recipe! I added blueberries and a teaspoon of stevia instead of swerve, next time I’ll use a little less sweetener. It was delicious!

      I made this tonight for a fast and easy dinner and it turned out delious. I melted the butter with lemon juice which gave the pancake a little brightness. I appreciate the coconut flour for added fiber.

  2. This looks so delicious and I can’t wait to try it! One thing I’m confused about though, In the comments, I keep seeing people mentioning how good the orange flavor is but I don’t see any “orangy” ingredients. Where does the orange flavor come in?

  3. Is the 1 tablespoon Swerve supposed to be mixed on the batter or just sprinkled on top of the finished pancake?

    Did you ever try leaving out the baking powder?

    Angela,
    We FINALLY tried your dutch baby and it was awesome! Used a cast iron skillet marked 8 for 15 minutes. It came out fluffy and moist and the orange flavor was inspired. Best of all the cook gets to eat with everyone else! This is our new pancake, thanks!

  5. 5 stars
    I made it this morning using a glass pie plate. We really enjoyed it with fresh blueberries, raspberries and, of course, bacon. Thank you!

  6. 5 stars
    By far the best tasting pancakeever. I’ve made so many that tasted eggy or just gross. I believe the orange extract is a must. Adds a wonderful flavor. I had large eggs and was reluctant to add the addition egg, but I did and it was just yummy. Hard to stop at one serving.
    Thank you for sharing. Finally a pancake my family can enjoy.

  7. This looks great! But I have a question on the serving size. The recipe states 2 servings, but the nutrition information says a serving is 1/4. Is the serving 1/4 of the recipe or half? Thanks!

  8. Just curious – why did you had the baking powder? The flour version I used for years (now changing over to nut flour) was just plain, flour, eggs, milk and flavoring. Is the almond flour such that the eggs will not be the rising agent in these? Gonna try this tomorrow. =)

  9. OMG!!!!! This was amazing!!!! Just started Keto a few days ago and I’m still amazed at how yummy this food can be. It was huge and I ended up cutting it into quarters.

    I didn’t have any extract so I added a little cinnamon since I was going to make these like cinnamon rolls anyway. Had cinnamon and butter sauce with a little cream cheese icing…all Keto friendly!!! Had a great texture…I’ll pickup extracts next time I’m at the store so I can make it exactly like yours.

    1. Stephanie
      I like YOUR ideas…the cinnamon. I’ll be trying that one. I also recently made a simple syrup with swerve and maple extract. This is so versatile. Thanks and I’m glad you liked it. I just did a keto tortilla you might love too.

    2. When you say butter sauce, is it just clarified or are there other ingredients. Always looking for new ideas, thank you.

  10. I made this for breakfast. The recipe doesn’t say what size skillet to use. I baked it in a 9″. It was more like a cake —- still very good. Should I use a larger pan the next time. Thanks.

    1. That’s a great question. I go back and forth myself. The last time I made it in a cast iron that is nine on bottom, 10 on top. It really doesn’t matter. Thanks for writing.
