Gluten Free Pancake Syrup {Brand List and Recipes!}

Gluten Free Pure Maple Syrup Brands:

Natural maple syrup comes in different grades of maple syrup. The most common grades are A and B. Grade A is a great choice for your pancakes and is the most commonly sold. Grade B syrup tends to be harvested later in the season, is darker, and has more minerals. Here are some delicious syrups to try:

• Trader Joe’s 100% Maple Syrup
• Kirkland 100% Maple Syrup
• Wholesome
• Nokomis
• 365 100% Maple Syrup
• Pure Canadian Maple Syrup brands are gluten free
• ChocZero Maple Syrup
• Maple Grove Farms
• Vermont Maple Syrup
• Nob Hill brand 100% Maple Syrup (Raley’s store so this applies to their other stores.)
• O Organics 100% Pure Maple Syrup

• Aunt Jemima
• Mrs. Butterworth
• Log Cabin Natural Table Syrup

Pure Maple Syrup vs Imitation Syrup:

I am a big proponent of using pure maple syrup over artificial syrup. It is natural and is very unlikely to contain hidden gluten ingredients like those listed above. I always opt for the low-risk option.

Is Aunt Jemima Gluten Free?

Aunt Jemima, aka Pearl Milling Company: Maybe.

Aunt Jemima Syrup appears to be gluten free, but caramel color is a potential for hidden gluten. The manufacturer does have any allergy information on their site. Some caramel color is made from corn, but other grains like barley are also used. For this syrup, I will say it depends on how sensitive you are to gluten.

Note that the manufacturer of Aunt Jemima changed the name and branding of Aunt Jemima syrup. The new name of this artificial syrup is now Pearl Milling Company.

Is Mrs. Butterworth Gluten Free?

Mrs. Butterworth: Probably gluten free because of their website allergy statement.

Mrs. Butterworth is another popular imitation syrup. In looking at the ingredients, this syrup also has a caramel color. My above statement is also applicable here. The brand does have an allergy statement, which I shared a screenshot of below. This leads me to think the caramel color is corn-based, but we do not know 100%.

Mrs. Butterworth Ingredients: High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Water, Contains 2% or Less of Cellulose Gum, Salt, Cane Syrup, Caramel Color, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Benzoate, and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Citric Acid, Molasses, Lactic Acid, Mono and Diglycerides.

Is Log Cabin Gluten Free?

Log Cabin Regular: Maybe (caramel color)

Log Cabin Natural: Doubtful (brown rice syrup)

Log Cabin makes both artificial and a more natural syrup without corn syrup. This artificial syrup I am most hesitant about this. The regular flavor has caramel color, which I already talked about as risky. The all-natural has brown rice syrup, which is often made with barley.

Regular Log Cabin Ingredients: Corn Syrup, Water, Sugar, Contains 2% or Less of Salt Natural Flavor, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Benzoate, Sorbic Acid (Preservatives), Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Mono and Diglycerides.

Log Cabin All Natural Ingredients: Brown Rice Syrup, Water, Cane Sugar, Brown Sugar, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid.

Does IHOP Have Gluten Free Syrup?

IHOP has some gluten free syrup options. You need to ask your server. I know many gluten-free people have gluten sensitivity and are not celiac, and many do eat gluten-free pancakes at IHOP. I want to note IHOP’s gluten free pancakes are not considered celiac-safe.
