A Gluten-Free Chocolate Raspberry Pancake Bread recipe that’s great for brunch or breakfast. It’s simple to make with wholesome ingredients. An allergy friendly and vegan friendly “quick” pancake bread recipe with the just the right fruit and chocolate combo. Freezer friendly too!  

Thanks to Enjoy Life Foods dairy for partnering with Cotter Crunch on this allergy friendly Chocolate Raspberry Pancake Bread recipe! It’s one our favorite breakfast/brunch breads that all can be shared and enjoyed by all! Haha, I am a bit bias though. 

Let the pancake bread bragging commence! Haha!

April showers brings May Flowers! Actually, it brought us snow showers this past weekend. Um, crazy! But needless to say, we took advantage. I baked “allergy friendly” comfort food (gluten-free pancake bread as you see) and then we spent the weekend at Solitude Resort, snow shoeing. That’s just 30 minutes up the road, but still, it was a nice little weekend getaways (stay-getaways?) for the kiwi Cotter’s 35th bday. We are also pretty darn lucky to have friends who let us use their condo. We are able to take time to slow down and enjoy the scenery, not to mention make time for BRUNCH! Brunch because we also slept in and missed breakfast, GASP!

Anyway, let’s discuss this breakfast/brunch Gluten-free Chocolate Raspberry Pancake Bread recipe. You’re gonna wanna get in on this! mmm k?

You see, May is Celiac awareness month. Celiac Awareness Month is an event held throughout the USA each May by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. It focuses on raising awareness about celiac disease and how you can help those who have it. Gosh, it’s near and dear to my heart! Back in the day, I used to help out at a few of the gluten-free expos, many of the families that came had kids with not only celiac disease, but also had tons of of other food allergies. It broke my heart because all they wanted was a normal childhood with normal childhood eats. But at the same time, I am so so glad that food allergy awareness has brought about so many wonderful gluten free brands. Brands that support the celiac consumer, not to mention several other food allergies.

Now you see where I am going with this, right? This Vegan Friendly Gluten-free Chocolate Raspberry Pancake Bread is my way of supporting this cause. I have Enjoy Life Foods to thank for that!  Yes, yes we will ENJOY LIFE…. and all the tasty food now!

Enjoy Life Foods products are free-from the “top eight” allergens: wheat/gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Products are also made without casein, potato, sesame and sulfites.

I also love that simple wholesome ingredients that go into each product. All natural ingredients like quinoa, buckwheat, and millet. Non-gmo, rich in fiber and probiotics. Gosh, and so much more! A brand that’s free of allergens but  full of NOURISHMENT. Yes, it’s true Enjoy Life Foods has a place in my heart. And they are a supporter for Celiac Awareness Month. See.. heart is FULL!

But here’s the thing. This wonderful brand is also so wonderfully tasty! Their products are definitely my go to for allergy friendly baking and more. Oh and I’m pretty sure those mini dark chocolate chips of theirs disappear from our pantry on a weekly basis. I blame my oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough obsession. And now, my  latest chocolate chip pancake bread obsession… with raspberries!

Now that my heart is full, and hopefully yours is too, lets fill those bellies with this simple, yet oh so TASTY, gluten-free chocolate raspberry pancake bread recipe. A pancake recipe that doesn’t require flipping. Just a fork and an extra large plate.

I made this Gluten-free Chocolate Raspberry Pancake Bread 2 ways. One with eggs and one without so it could be vegan. Gosh darn it I loved them both. But I wanted to make sure to include a version free of the top 8 allergies. All I can say is that I am super duper glad enjoy life chocolate chips and raspberries are not on that allergy list. HECK YA!
