There are many recipes out there for GF pancakes. Some take lots of time to mix up, others are very expensive, many taste awful (grainy from the rice flour), etc! (Welcome to the world of gluten free, right?!) BUT- I've finally found one for those times when you want pancakes NOW and you want the convenience of a box mix. I've made 3 key changes to their recipe in order to make this IBS safe.
(BTW: this mix is great for our IBS anyway...the only ingredients in the mix are rice flour, sugar, leavening, potato starch, salt, and xanthan gum).
The recipe and my changes are:
1 c. Bisquick GF mix
1 c. milk... substitute 1 c. vanilla soy milk
2 T. veg oil... substitute 2 T. applesauce
1 egg... substitute 2 egg whites
That's it! You just stir it all together, spray your pan with Pam, and make the pancakes. If yours are too thick and aren't cooking all the way through, just add a touch more soy milk. I had made these before I knew I had IBS and made them according to the box directions. I can truly say that they are MUCH better made the IBS way!! My kids always ask to share mine 
For toppings: I use pure maple syrup sometimes. I also like applesauce poured right on top. I've melted jam in the microwave - my favorite is seedless blackberry- and poured that over. You can also put a layer of frozen or fresh blueberries in a frying pan and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan but not cover the berries. Turn on a med. heat and let them cook until the blueberries burst. Sometimes I thicken this with a bit of cornstarch, and sometimes I add a touch of sugar or brown sugar to the berries if they're not sweet enough. We live near a huge blueberry farm and this recipe was on one of their fliers.
Oh...the Bisquick is, like most specialty GF items, pretty expensive. The box is tiny. It's found next to the giant, cheap boxes of regular Bisquick. Hey... maybe it'll come down in price eventually! There are recipes for waffles, biscuits, and strawberry shortcake that I'm sure could all be converted in a similar fashion.
Happy Breakfast!!
