Gluten-Free Aebleskiver
These Danish treats are made with gluten-free flour, but to keep the carbs as low as possible, I opted for my favorite sweetener, Swerve, and reached for a sugar-free strawberry jam. Serve warm with whipped cream or simply dusted with additional sweetener.
Chef Tips:
- Aebleskiver pans are easy to source online. They make 7 at a time and this recipe yields 14, so you will be making two batches.

Gluten-Free Aebleskiver
Aebleskivers, Danish round pancakes filled with jam, are truly spherical delights. Crafted from a light and airy pancake batter, they're cooked in a specialized aebleskiver pan, often cast iron. While traditionally made with wheat flour, the gluten-free rendition is equally delightful.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6.2 oz gluten-free flour
- 2½ TB Swerve confectioners’ sweetener
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 egg whisked well
- 7 oz milk
- Coconut oil or butter, for greasing the pan (around 2-3 TB)
- 2.5 oz around 14 teaspoons sugar-free jam (strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
Instructions
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Pour the egg mix into the flour mix and whisk to a completely smooth mixture.
- Grease the Aebleskiver pan with coconut oil or butter and place on medium heat.
- Once hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, coming up no more than 1/3.
- Drop a teaspoon of jam into the center of each, then cover with more batter.
- Leave to cook for about 5-6 minutes until you start to see the edges browning and pulling away from the sides. Use a knife or spoon to gently remove the dough and carefully flip each one over, cooking the underside for about 4-5 more minutes. Monitor the temperature, reducing to medium-low if you find they darken too much.
- Serve warm with a dusting of sweetener or enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream.
