I tried again today with fresh baking powder and used a bit more milk than it called for and they were fabulous!!! We all (husband and 2 year old) LOVED them! Thank you for the recipe.

I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup, so I would say no to the heaping spoon thing... :) Change the baking powder and try again. These really are great pancakes!

I was hesitant to add more liquid since the problem was that they were too gooey, but maybe that would have been the fix? I also discovered that the baking powder I've been using is from 2003! So that may be part of the issue. I'll try again with fresh baking powder. Should the batter be fairly thin? Should it be thick enough to heap on a spoon or not? it looked like a thick batter.

We loved the taste, but they were dense and gooey in the middle. I tried cooking some for short times and others for longer, but they all came out gooey. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I did have to add quite a few ingredients- egg, oil, honey, soymilk, and sea salt.  I was thrilled to see that they seemed to cook well with no telltale gluten free mush in the middle. The one thing I can’t stand is mushy, mealy gluten free pancakes. Eww. I was right, there was no mealy, mushy center. However, it was almost too cooked, despite the fact they were not overdone. My pancakes were dense, dry, and required a healthy amount of butter and maple syrup to make them taste better. The flavor of these gluten free pancakes reminded me of a nutty, whole grain, “healthy’ version of my favorite breakfast food. The wild rice base does have a nice flavor, but the dry, dense texture and consistency overshadow the flavor.

What flour combination did you use? Sometimes liquid amounts will vary depending even on what brand of rice flour you use . I am surprised about the pumpkin flavor though!
