](http://elizabethyarnell.com/WP/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PancakeSandwich.jpg)A gluten-free pancake sandwich with SunButter and organic strawberry-rhubarb jam.One of the most frustrating aspects about going wheat-free or gluten-free is the loss of bread. For more than 5,000 years, bread in some form has been a staple food for human civilization, and it can be hard to find substitutes for those familiar, bread-centric food items. Like a sandwich.

Let’s face it: there are a lot of things to love about sandwiches. They’re portable, easy to assemble, and contain a good ratio of carbs to protein to give the body energy and satiety. Many gluten-free breads are crumbly, hard, or generally unsatisfying to use in a sandwich. That’s why I’ll often use gluten-free pancakes in place of sliced bread for a pancake sandwich.

I’ve enjoyed these [gluten-free pancakes by Elana Amsterdam](http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-pancakes-revisited/ "gluten-free pancakes") of [ElanasPantry.com](http://www.elanaspantry.com "Elana's Pantry"), but sometimes I take the easy route and use [Pamela’s Gluten-Free Baking & Pancake Mix](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NMJWZO/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=lizoneandmore-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B000NMJWZO&adid=0BXR2P0V78EEWNDG1HPQ "Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mi"). Regardless, I always triple the recipe so that I have lots of extra pancakes for later snacks and sandwiches. Pancakes are easy to pull out of a freezer-safe bag or container and pop in a toaster oven or microwave to thaw and heat for a quick breakfast or lunch without a mess.

This pancake sandwich is spread with organic [SunButter](http://elizabethyarnell.com/effortlesseating/2012/11/sunbutter-a-peanut-butter-alternative/ "SunButter") and [Colorado Mountain Jam](http://plumdaisy.com/plumdaisy.cfm "colorado mountain jam")‘s Organic Strawberry Rhubarb jam. Yum!
