You can make this eggless pancake recipe using a few simple ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and sugar) and whisk well. Mix in the wet ingredients (milk, vanilla extract and melted butter).
Cook over medium heat on a nonstick pan or griddle. When the top starts to bubble, flip the pancake and cook the other side for about a minute. Serve with more butter pats, maple syrup or whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Vegan
All you need are 7 simple ingredients to make vegan pancakes that are as light and fluffy as they come. Start by sifting together flour, dry sweetener, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl and making a well in the center. Add water, plant milk and a drizzle of oil to the well; mix until just combined, but don’t overmix. You want the batter to be thick enough that it pours easily and is easy to flip.
Then, add a few tablespoons of your chosen nut butter; peanut butter has the strongest nutty flavor and can be substituted with sunflower or other nut butter for those with allergies. This ingredient not only mimics the richness and moisture of eggs, but it also works as a leavening agent for the pancakes to help them rise.
Another popular binding ingredient used in eggless pancake recipes is flax seed. To make a flax egg, simply combine one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water; whisk until the mixture thickens and add it to the batter. You can also replace the flax egg with an equal amount of any liquid such as almond milk, vegetable or coconut water, soymilk, or even melted butter if you prefer.
A generous amount of baking powder is also important for making light, airy pancakes without eggs. This double-acting ingredient reacts once it’s mixed with the acid in the plant milk and vinegar, then again as it hits the hot pan to create bubbles and make the pancakes rise.
Finally, a little bit of sugar helps to give the pancakes sweetness; we recommend using organic cane sugar for the best flavor. You can use a different kind of sugar, but you’ll need to adjust the recipe accordingly, as other sugars can make the pancakes more dense and less fluffy.
Once the pancakes are made, top with your choice of fresh fruit, a small drizzle of maple syrup or a berry compote, and serve immediately. If you’re cooking them in batches, keep the cooked pancakes warm on a plate or in a slightly warm oven until all are finished.
Dairy-Free
Being dairy-free when making pancakes is easy if you use the right ingredients. Simply swap the large egg for flax eggs and replace the milk with non-dairy milk or your favorite plant-based alternative, such as almond, coconut, hemp or oat. You will also want to use a different sugar, such as maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of honey. The result will be lighter than a traditional recipe, but just as delicious.
To make a batch of these fluffy vegan pancakes, whisk the wet ingredients in a large bowl and add the dry ingredients. Then, pour the batter into a hot frying pan or griddle and cook until the edges stiffen and bubbles form on top. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or two, until browned on both sides. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
When making your pancakes, be sure to use a high-quality gluten free flour blend. This will ensure that your pancakes are light and fluffy. You can find a gluten free flour blend at your local health food store or online. The best brands of gluten free flour are made without wheat, barley or rye, and will have a label on them that says “gluten-free”.
For the wet ingredients in this pancake recipe, you can use any type of milk that you like, including buttermilk. Just be sure to choose a dairy-free option if you have an allergy. A popular choice for pancakes is to use a can of full-fat coconut milk, but you could also use any dairy-free milk you prefer, such as soy milk, almond milk or even plain, whole cow’s milk.
You will also want to use an acid, such as plain white vinegar, in addition to the baking powder to activate it. You can find this acid at your local grocery store in the vinegar section, or you can use a small amount of lemon juice or cream of tartar.
If you would like to get creative with your pancakes, consider adding fruit, nuts or a special touch such as sprinkles. You can even make a batch of these pancakes ahead of time and freeze them for quick breakfasts on the go! Just be sure to let the pancakes come to room temperature before you stack them and wrap in a piece of parchment paper before storing.
Nut-Free
If you have a nut allergy, you may not be able to enjoy many traditional pancake recipes. However, there are a number of delicious pancake recipes that do not use any nuts. These pancakes are not only healthy, but they can also be quite delicious! You can serve them with a variety of toppings to create a variety of flavors.
To make these pancakes, mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then, combine the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter should have a thick consistency. You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less milk. It is important to let the batter rest before pouring it onto a griddle. This helps the baking powder to activate and makes the pancakes fluffy.
If your pancakes turn out flat and gummy, you probably overmixed the batter. You can avoid this by mixing just until the batter is combined. This will help it to have a thicker texture, which is best for fluffiness. It is also helpful to have a bit of lumps in the batter, as this will add to the flavor and texture.
Once you have the perfect batter, heat a pan or skillet on medium heat. You will want to be sure that the pan is well-seasoned so that it does not stick to the pancakes. A good way to test the heat is to drip a small amount of water on the griddle. If it sizzles, the pan is ready to cook your pancakes.
While cooking your pancakes, flip them carefully. The best way to do this is by using a spatula. You should flip the pancakes when they look bubbly on top and are a golden brown color on the bottom. If you have trouble flipping the pancakes, try using a butter knife to assist in loosening them from the griddle.
Once your pancakes are cooked, serve them with your favorite toppings. You can serve them with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fruit jam. You can even freeze leftover pancakes and reheat them later in the microwave or toaster oven.
Gluten-Free
Using the pancake recipe on the back of the Bob’s Red Mill buckwheat package is a great way to make egg-free pancakes. This recipe uses yeast instead of eggs. You will need to add a little water, but the resulting pancakes are light and fluffy.
To prepare the batter, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter (or oil or non-dairy substitute), and water. Stir the wet into the dry ingredients until everything is evenly combined and no lumps remain. The batter should be thick enough to drop from a spoon. If it is too thick, add one to two tablespoons of milk.
You can use any milk you like for this pancake recipe. For dairy-free options, try almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. It is important to use a reputable brand of these milks as some brands can contain added fat or sugar. You can also substitute the melted butter for a few teaspoons of your favorite nut or seed butter. This will give the pancakes a lovely, subtle nutty flavor. Peanut butter has the strongest nutty flavor, but sunflower seed butter or cashew butter are good alternatives for those with nut allergies.
If you are making a gluten-free version of this pancake recipe, use a 1:1 blend of your favorite gluten-free flour. For best results, select a flour that contains xanthan gum or guar gum in addition to the other flours. You can find these in the specialty aisle of most grocery stores.
The pancakes can be cooked on a hot skillet or griddle coated with oil or butter. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the bottom of the pancake is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute or so. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings, if desired.
If you want to make a larger batch of these pancakes, they can be frozen for later. They will keep well in the freezer for up to three days, but they can also be reheated in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.
