The Best Eggless Pancakes Ever & Video
| Tweet |  |
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 extra baking powder. Then I tried a couple of right-from-scratch recipes minus the eggs and wasn’t very pleased with the results. Later I found a wholegrain pancake mix, to which I had to just add water and viola the 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 pancakes for breakfast because we don’t have that in the blog. So making it would serve two purposes. I landed on this 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. I also tried a vegan version of these pancakes and they turned out very good as well. I’ll blog about it pretty soon.

|
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 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.

Hi, looking forward to trying this recipe for my parents. Sorry for asking a basic question, but is all purpose flour available in Bangalore? any idea where? Thanks for posting the recipes.
No problem Uma. All purpose flour is nothing but maida. So you can get it in all grocery stores.
I just had this for breakfast this morning, it was delicious. These were the best egg-less pancakes I’ve tried so far.
I added Otaheite apple to the batter, but the flavor of the apple was too subtle to add anything to the pancake. I had my pancakes with warm maple syrup and butter.
I also used 2tb of sugar instead of 1tsp.
I was just wondering why the melted butter is added to batter at the end.
Thanks for trying Natassia. I don’t know either about the butter being added at the end.
What can I substitute for oil? I do not like using vegetable oil in my cooking. Would desi ghee work?
Yes you should be fine using ghee or butter or coconut oil if you like the flavor.
Thanks!
These look delish and I can’t wait to try them out.
I just made some of these, I didnt have any milk so I used water.. nor did I have any baking powder, but i still made them and they turned out amazing!!
Even without the baking powder? Was it fluffy or dense? Did you use baking soda instead?
Loved this recipe. I added cocoa powder to it to make chocolate pancakes, me and boyfriend love them on a Saturday morning
Chocolate pancake sounds yummy!
Hi! Was just wondering if milk is better or buttermilk? I always thought pancakes require ‘khatta dahi’ butermilk. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Hi Komal, there are pancake recipes which uses buttermilk, but I haven’t tried it so far and I haven’t tried substiuting buttermilk for milk in this recipe either. So I wouldn’t know how it will turn out. But I can assure you that this recipe if followed exactly will turn out very good with milk itself.
hi madhuram,
firstly want to thank you for being such an awesome help by sharing these eggless recipes…i am in a process of figuring out whether my daughter has egg allergy or not and if not what is it? any way these days we are starting eggless foods and this pancake recipe is just tooooooo gooooooood to be eggless….its even better than the egg pancake recipe I’ve been using for years thinking that was good… thumbs up..Awesome as it is!!!
God bless You!
and i would love it if u could help out a bit about figuring out egg allergy..
thank uuuuuuu
You’re welcome Fatimah. The best way to find out if your daughter has an egg allergy is to get her tested.
my doctor told me a test called patch test/ pet test or something…which test are u saying?

Hi,
I tried this receipe today for pancakes day. I made them using exactly the receipe you have mentioned, my batter was to stiff so i added a bit more milk and the pancakes didnt turn out as fluffy as per your picture, they looked like dosas, but kids loved them with nutella. Where am i going wrong?
Sush, I’m guessing that your baking powder is not working. How long is it since you bought it? Was the pan hot enough?
Hay madhuram
For pancake Tuesday I said to my kids, I will make eggless pancake, They were not too sure how it will taste. They normally go to my sister for pancake with egg and my husband do not like it so I was very happe when I saw your eggless pancake receipe. Cannot thank you enough for this.
It tasted lovely and I got biggest hug from my son.
Only one thing… My dough was sticky and lumpy so I could not make pancake like dosa, I let it set for nearly 15 mins before I added butter, could that be the reason.
Thank you once again
Parul
You’re welcome Parul. Can you elaborate on what do you mean by, “you could not make pancake like dosa”? Are you talking about spreading the batter like we do for dosa? If that’s what you are telling, then I would say that pancakes should not be spread like that. You just have to pour the batter with a ladle or directly and leave it undisturbed for it to cook. Lumps are perfectly fine for pancakes and leaving the batter for 15 minutes is also not a blunder. Actually I have heard that you could prepare pancake batter the previous night itself for the following day’s breakfast.
Really great, really tasty! Do you have also the best eggless waffel-recipe? I guess so
let me know!
Thank you very much Thomas. I don’t have a waffles recipe because I don’t have a waffle iron. Maybe you should try this recipe itself as waffles and let us know how it turns out.
I have to say, I was a skeptic at first-I have a 2 year old with egg allergies and I have tried many recipes. THIS IS THE BEST! I am so happy I found this website. My next recipe, blueberry muffins.
Thanks Yaz.
Although I did lessen the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp for my picky son, these pancakes were awesome. Wonderful recipe. In fact, I love your website. It’s amazing how many goodies I miss not being able to have eggs. (but it’s been good for my diet:)
I’m going to try the brownies next because I haven’t had brownies since I beacame allergic to eggs seven years ago.
Thank you so much,
Helen
You’re welcome Helen. Not a single brownie in 7 years?! Wow! Can you rate the recipe when you find time?
Thank you very much for the easy, quick and full of flavour recipe. My family of picky-eaters loved it and this is recipe is a keeper.
You’re welcome Sandra.
Hi, I just made these pancakes and they turned out really beautiful texture wise but somehow I had this overpowering baking powder taste in my mouth. I did follow the recipe exactly except in the end I did not add 2 tablespoons of butter. Did anybody else also felt the same thing??? Please help. Thanks.
Not adding the butter is not an issue Anita. Either the baking powder must be past its expiry date, or it was lumpy and it didn’t dissolve completely.
Hi! Thank God I found your site! I just made your eggless pancake for my son who has egg allergy. He loved it. I omitted the cinnamon though. I just have a few questions: can I omit the butter (2 tbsp.) and if I include any strawberry/other berries jam/preserves, should I omit 1 tbsp. water or lessen milk? Thanks a lot!
If you do omit the butter, I think it would be better if you substituted it with some other fat. Adding a tablespoon or two of jam etc should not affect the texture of the pancakes. Just make sure that you don’t dilute the batter very thin.
Thanks! I used 2 tbsp. olive oil instead of butter.
I also increased sugar to 1 tbsp. (used brown sugar instead)
Also I used 1/4 tsp. baking soda and used 1/2 cup goat’s milk
+ 1/2 cup kefir (somewhat like buttermilk). It turned out
great! Thanks for the recipe. Next time I’ll add apricot
jam to the batter.
We tried this recipe last week and it was awesome. I didn’t have vannila extract so I skipped it. The pancakes were so good and fluffy didn’t need anything more.
Thanks Kay.
