It has been 3 years since I started this blog but I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about something as basic as eggless pancakes until today. My husband and I are not big pancake fans. I do prepare it once in a month or two for my son.
Initially, I used to buy Bisquick; add some mashed bananas or applesauce for the eggs and add the extra baking powder to make egg-free pancakes.
Then I tried a couple of right-from-scratch recipes minus the eggs and wasn’t very pleased with the results. At that time I was not able to find a decent pancake recipe without eggs.
Later I found a whole grain pancake mix from Bulk Barn, to which I had to just add water and viola eggless pancakes were ready. Those living in Canada can find this mix in Bulk Barn. The mix is egg-free.
Last morning my husband asked me to prepare egg-free pancakes for breakfast because we don’t have that on the blog. So making it would serve two purposes.
I landed on this homemade pancakes without eggs recipe and after reading the raving reviews I had to try it.
The verdict is: "these are the best eggless pancakes you will ever taste". To tell the truth, I haven’t actually tasted a regular pancake with eggs (yes after 8 years in North America, I haven’t tasted it even once) so I cannot compare it with that, but I’m pretty sure that these pancakes are as good as the usual ones.
A couple of reviewers have tried this recipe because they ran out of eggs and they are all praises for it, which means that these pancakes are definitely good.
So if you have run out of eggs are do not want to use eggs and are wondering how to make pancakes without eggs, here's the only recipe you have to try.
I also have a vegan pancake recipe, the vegan version of the best eggless pancakes recipe. Do try it!
How To Make Egg-Free Pancakes?
Here are the step-by-step pictorial instructions on how to make delicious pancakes without eggs.
Eggless Pancakes Recipe |
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Makes |
|---|---|---|
| 15 Mins | 10 Mins | 6 Small Pancakes |
| Author | Category | Method |
| Madhuram | Breakfast | Cooking |
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Milk (I Used 2%)
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Water
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a liquid measuring mug, measure 1 cup milk. To that add the vegetable oil, water and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Do not over-mix. Lumps are perfectly fine. Set aside for a couple of minutes.
- Heat a griddle at medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the melted butter to the pancake batter and return the pan to the stove. Mix the butter into the batter.
- When the pan is hot enough, pour a ladleful of batter on the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the face of the pancake.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook until its golden brown.
- I have said it earlier and I'm going to say it again, these are THE best eggless pancakes. Light, soft and fluffy! You have to have some syrup or something to sweeten it because its not sweet by itself. But I guess that's how pancakes are supposed to be.
- The pan should not be over-heated or else the pancakes will blacken. To get that nice golden color I usually have the knob at 4.
- I added a couple of blueberries to the batter. You can add about 1/2 a cup of nuts, fruits or chocolate chips for this measurement.

Wow! This looks SO easy! Thank you so much! Can I use this same batter to make waffles?
Believe me or not I too have been wondering the same. I wish I had a waffle iron to test it out.
I was excited for pancakes this morning until I realized we were out of eggs. Well, thank goodness for the internet, the morning was not lost! This recipe was wonderful! I used whole milk instead of 2% and I added apples. This saved my morning, thank you!
You’re welcome Erin.
Thanks a lot for the recipe 🙂 It came out really well. We had Strawberry Pancakes along with Vanilla Yogurt.
You’re welcome Chitra.
These were the best pancakes I have ever tasted, as suggested i added frozen blueberries to the batter, it turned out fluffy and light. My hubby is a big fan of pancakes but me being a vegetarian do not get eggs at home, i surprised him last weekend and he couldn’t stop raving about them. I topped it up with maple syrup and made some mix berry sauce which was just divine. Highly recommended guys!
Appreciate the recipe, Thanks a ton. You made our weekend so special!
You’re welcome Shivangi and thank you for your wonderful comment.
Hey, the eggless pancake recipe was fabulous. I never knew that pancakes would be so simple to make. I added mulberry and blueberry topping along with a bit of honey and we all loved it! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Geetika.
I tried it and it turned out pretty good! As a guinea pig I tried it for myself for 1/2 cup flour. But I added almost 1cup milk. Not proportionate! Need to add 1/2 cup milk or little less. But overall turned out great. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome Anna.
Try this using 30% soya flour in the mix. They will be more “eggy” but without the eggs, and also delicious. Soya is high in protein too. Just make sure it’s GMO free.
Hi, I had to modify the ingredients for my taste. Instead of sugar I used a packet of Stevia. Added 2 T. Wheat Germ for fibre. Omitted the vanilla and added 3 T. unsweetened apple sauce. Heating the milk to tepid before adding to flour mix really helps. Thanks for the initial base mix the consistency is perfect. I just turned them over and to my surprise they browned perfectly. I am impressed.
Thanks Karl.
Tried this recipe this morning, and it was excellent!! I did use some flaxseed in place of what an egg might have done. For the recipe above, I combined 1TBS of ground flaxseed with 2TBS of water, then omitted the water in the recipe. THANKS SO MUCH!!
You’re welcome Michelle.
Made this for my son this morning. He loved it! Ate 5 small pieces on one sitting. I ate 6 small pieces after I dropped him at school! Definately a keeper. Btw, I added butter and maple syrup after I flipped the pancakes because I liked the melted butter effect and my syrup warm.
Thanks Tricia.
MADE IT……………YUM, really good, handy for when you have no eggs in:)
I just made these wonderful pancakes! It’s unbelievable how they turn soft and fluffy even without eggs or anything 🙂 Thanks for sharing 😉
You’re welcome Nero. Kudos to the person who came up with this recipe.
[…] Blynai be kiau�ini? Egless Pancakes […]
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I have tried so many recipes before and this is hands down the best. I would like to try this mix in the wafflemaker- do you think it wilkl work or are there adjustments that you reccomned?
Sorry Sapna, I haven’t tried waffles so far, so I don’t know.
Just now i tried your recipe and my daughters like very much.Thanks for this tasty and quick recipe.
Thanks Panchashila. Kindly rate the recipe.
OMG these were the best!!!!!! they tasted so good and ive made them twice so far 🙂
Thank you very much Deep.
They are absolutely fantastic! I did add blueberries, and that was heaven. You are absolutely correct, the best pancakes ever, eggless or otherwise.
Thanks Pamela.
These pancakes were easy to make and turned out excellent. Not too sweet at all, delicious with maple syrup on top. I also added frozen blueberries and bits of fresh strawberry to have blue and red for today’s 4th of July. Thank you very much for this recipe.
A request- a pancake recipe with wholewheat flour or white brown flour, please.
How…. How does it work??! its just my grandmothers pancake recipe with the 2 eggs omitted basically. Little more milk, oil,butter but the same?! its magic! I am making these on friday, it has been decided.
If your recipe works, I will never forget you!
Maybe the amount of baking powder is more than your grandmother’s recipe. Whatever it maybe, this recipe works Ling. You should definitely try it.
Woww those pancakes looks seriously delicious and wonderful..
Thanks a lot Madhuram for this recipe,I never tried pancakes but now I will definitely try this because I totally trust your recipes.
I tried Vanllia cup cakes but mine was not light n fluffy,it was kind of soggy. May be I over mixed the batter. Anyways I will try it again,may be cake this time.
That’s sad Gudia. I wish you don’t give up on the cupcake recipe.
They do look awesome and I am going to take your word for it and try them out soon 🙂
Wowwwwwwwwww.. Looks simply superb and delicious.. Thanks for the awesome recipe dear !!

The whole grain pancake mix you refer to in your article has whey powder in it as an ingredient… this means it HAS DAIRY in the mix!!
So a person with an allergy needs to beware!
On the other hand… your recipe for pancakes very good and I look forward to trying it out when next the grandchildren come for a visit. Thank you.
That’s right Carola. I missed it. Will correct it. Thanks a lot.
Looks soft n yum …so perfect
