Gluten-Free Pancakes with Cranberry Apple Compote | Lemons and Basil

Any cranberry fans out there? If so, these Gluten-Free Pancakes with Cranberry Apple Compote are for you! Bold in both flavor and color, they’re the perfect choice for a festive Christmas morning breakfast or brunch. The cranberry apple combo creates a thick compote that is slightly tangy, yet subtly sweet due to the natural sweetness brought in with a little honey and maple syrup.

And while the pancakes may be gluten-free, their texture remains fluffy and their flavor is on point, sure to fill in for your favorite traditional pancakes. Of course if gluten isn’t a concern, feel free to substitute with whole wheat or white flour.

Brighton and I enjoyed our pancakes topped with the cranberry apple compote, a drizzle of honey, and a spoonful of Greek yogurt dip, while Josh went old school and stuck to the tried and true organic butter and maple syrup. Always a bit hesitant to see how he’ll react when I make a healthier version of one of his favorites, I was thrilled when he said they were amazing and asked if we had more. {Whew!}

Thanks to Coaction PR, I had the opportunity last year to share with you some of my favorite kitchen gadgets, several of which were created by Dreamfarm. I’m thrilled to say, Dreamfarm has continued developing and creating innovative kitchen tools, including these Levups, Levoons, and Chopula! I was able to use each of these tools to make these pancakes, and while the Levups and Levoons are fabulous, and help make precise measurements easier than ever, it’s this Chopula that has me most excited. It’s thin and flexible, yet strong and firm. The pancakes were incredible easy to flip, due to the thinness of this Chopula and it’s ability to easily slide beneath each pancake. I’ve also been using it to cook eggs and dish out desserts over the last few weeks and it works great for each task I put it to!

Best of all? Coaction has happily agreed to give away a set of each of these great products {a $45 value!} to one lucky winner! Be sure to register below for your chance to win!
