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.

THANK YOU Fluffy and delicious!
Today I had not one fresh egg ( our dozen young hens are not quite old enough and only one old hen is still laying) but still needed to make our usual Sat morning blueberry pancake breakfast with our 3yr old grand daughter.
Hubby was scoffing about using your recipe, saying he won’t eat them and made himself peanut butter on toast.
I did have to add an extra 1/2 cup milk to be the consistency we prefer,
but that was all I changed.
He caved to try one when she n I moaned with happiness. Afterward he declared that they were so good we should make this recipe EVERY Saturday… and save the eggs for making cookies
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed feedback, Sammy. You made my day.
Excellent better than any recipe I’ve tried including those with egg
Thank you very much, Michelle.
Very good! I’d rather have these than pancakes with tbh. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Hailey.
These were so amazing and light! My gf & I decided breakfast for dinner was the answer to our Tuesday night plans and pancakes would be the star. That said… we forgot we didn’t have any eggs! Thankfully, a quick search brought up this page and we’re so glad it did! The pancakes were light and super easy to make. We did add a bit more milk as we found the batter to be too thick for our liking, but other than that- AMAZING! I should add that my gf was skeptical when I said I wanted to go ahead with this recipe instead of making a night trip to the store for eggs. After eating these, however, she asked if I had saved the recipe for later! I did and I will- thank you for this recipe; it’s a gem!
Thank you very much, Martha, for your detailed feedback and generous compliment!
I made this with whole wheat flour and almond milk. My 9 year old grandson loved them and I did,too.
Thank you very much for the feedback, Ellen.
First week in our new house and realized we didn’t have eggs for breakfast this morning. Did a quick Google search and boy was I happy to find this recipe. Only had self-rising flour so I omitted the baking powder. Best pancakes, with or without eggs, that I have had in a long tume. Thanks for saving breakfast this morning
Thank you very much for the feedback, Carol.
These are great. We made them this morning. The batter was very thick so I added more milk and it worked really well. I said to my 5 year old that I’d definitely give them 5 stars, and she said “no, I’d give them 50 million stars!”
Wow! Thank you so much, Rachel. Your comment made my day.
Very good recipe and clean of chemicals. It is a keeper! Now if you would only happen to have a very good recipe for delicious non egg chewy chocolate chip cookies I will be very very happy. Thank you again for all the work that you do.
Thank you very much, Cruz. I have a couple of chocolate chip cookie recipes on the blog.
These pancakes were absolutely fantastic. I made it with Almond Milk instead of milk because that’s all I had. I wonder if these would work with Almond flour so they will be a little healthier? They were a thick batter. I only got four but that’s ok you fill up on two:) This is my new go to recipe! Yummy!
Thank you for the feedback, Dee Dee. This recipe won’t work with just almond flour. I have tried it. It’s gluten-free so you need to have eggs or other things like xanthan gum for it to work.
