Eggless Pancakes Recipe Tips
- FLOUR: Use all purpose flour. This recipe also works well whole wheat flour or a combination of both.
- MILK: I use 2% milk, but I have also used whole milk, oat milk, almond milk and condensed milk.
- BUTTER: I use melted salted butter, just make sure it’s cooled down. You might notice the butter solidifying into chunks when added to the milk, and that’s ok…just mix it as best you can. I have also used vegetable oil, and melted coconut oil when I don’t have butter.
- VARIATIONS: Here are some tasty flavour options:
- CINNAMON: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
- BLUEBERRY PANCAKES: You can add frozen or fresh blueberries to the batter to make blueberry pancakes.
- APPLE PANCAKES: You can add 1/4 cup chopped apples to the batter to make them apple pancakes.
- BANANA PANCAKES: Stir in 1 mashed banana into the batter. Then serve with peanut butter. Yum.
- CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Add 1/4 – 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we love 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips).
- MIXING: Don’t over mix the pancake batter, it only need to be gently mixed. The batter will likely look a little lumpy (see photo below) and that’s ok, it’s likely just the butter.
- LET THE BATTER SIT: After mixing the ingredients together let the batter sit for about 2-3 minutes, it should be bubbly and thick.
- DOUBLE IT: This recipe is easily doubled.
- LEFTOVERS: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- REHEATING: Reheat any leftover pancakes in the toaster or toaster oven.
- FREEZING: Cooked pancakes freeze well. Store in an airtight container or ziplock freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. See my handy tip for freezing crepes that’s also useful for freezing pancakes!
- SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with a fresh fruit salad or fresh berries, and bacon or sausages.
About the batter:
When making these pancakes, mix the batter gently. You will notice that the batter will be lightly lumpy and that’s ok, it’s most likely the cooled melted butter, but the batter will cook just fine. Once you’ve mixed everything together, let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes. The batter should be thick but light, fluffy and bubbly before cooking.
Yummy classic pancakes, but without the egg.
These egg-free pancakes are everything you expect from a pancake. Same flavour, same texture. They’re so good you might want to make a bigger batch (this is a great tip for breakfast meal prep for the work and school week).
