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 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 wholegrain 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 in 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!
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.

These are delicious! Didnt have eggs but my little ones wanted pancakes for breakfast. My 4yo my sister and my 11 month old nephew loved them!! Myself too. Little advice though make a double batch!! I only got a couple tastes because it didn’t make enough! We’ve decided this recipe is now our Saturday dinners with eggs bacon and fruit!!
Thank you very much for the feedback Tiff. Happy to know that the kids loved it.
Awesome. Do you have an eggless cookie recipe
Thanks. You can find it here: https://www.egglesscooking.com/eggless-baking-recipes/eggless-cookies/
Wow! Desperate for some grub, but not having been to the grocery store for far too long I found this recipe and gave it a shot. Expecting a dense, gummy pancake I found them wonderfully light and fluffy, and flavorful too!
Next time I will add a touch of nutmeg just to up the game a little more.
Thanks for the great recipe!
You’re very welcome Joe. Thanks for the feedback.
I just made these and they are AWESOME!
Thank you for the feedback Tiffany.
My 1 year old is allergic to eggs so I made her this recipe. We loved it! I have also bookmarked it. Thanks!
You’re very welcome Alex.
Can we use whole wheat flour instead of refined one? Can we increase the quantity of sugar to make them sweet? Do we need to use unsalted butter or salted one will do? Wanna try ur recipe.
Yes you can use whole wheat flour but it won’t be as fluffy as the one with all-purpose flour. You can increase the quantity of sugar but I keep mine on the lower side because the kids top it with maple syrup. Using salted butter will make it very salty.
Hey, I have been making pancakes with eggs for a long time. Now that I have tried your recipe, it’s great, have bookmarked it. 🙂
Thanks Binu.
