This is one of our fun Saturday morning treats in which I freeze the leftovers for weekday mornings! We make dairy and nut free pancakes using orange juice instead of milk! It’s that simple. Take your favorite recipe and substitute fresh squeezed, carton or frozen orange juice for the traditional milk in pancakes.
dairy and nut free orange pancakes
I picked up this recipe from my friend’s dad, a Grandpa extraordinaire, who took up cooking when he retired and is willing to share tried and true fab recipes with us mere mortals. He uses Bisquick, eggs and orange juice. If I am using Bisquick, I follow their instructions and I add a teaspoon of vanilla to my pancakes to add pizazz.
The pancakes cook up fine and normal as dairy pancakes do. I cook up a double batch and then I freeze the extras. To freeze pancakes:
[unordered_list style=”star”]
- Line cookie sheet, that will fit flat in your freezer, with wax or parchment paper.
- Place fully cooked and cooled pancakes on wax or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze for two hours or until pancakes are fully frozen.
- Store frozen pancakes in freezer bag or freezer container up to two months.
- To reheat, pop into toaster or toaster oven until reheated thoroughly.

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
This has been my secret for years!! The pancakes taste much better & don’t require much sugar. Sweetened almond milk gives ’em a good taste, too. Don’t forget to add cinnamon for a bit of spice.
…and you never shared Judie! I will try the cinnamon, good idea. Hope to see you tomorrow night at our check out the Auvi-Q and Dr. Reyes and Nugent’s new office!
