Classic Pancakes

You can probably find more than a thousand different variations to pancakes, but more or less the classic recipe will include flour, eggs and milk.

So naturally if you want to make pancakes without any of those ingredients, it might sound slightly difficult, right? Well not necessarily.

The good news being that pancakes can be made without these ingredients if they are substituted with the right ones that will achieve the same texture and flavor.

So if you don't want to use eggs in your recipe, cannot for any health reason or simply don't have them at home but want to make pancakes, keep reading. 

Egg Substitute 

There are a lot of possible egg substitutes you can use instead of eggs in baked recipes.

Flax egg, a tablespoon of chia seeds or the whisked water that is left after cooking chickpeas (called aquafaba) are just a few.

But in this recipe we are not going into complicated alternatives.

This eggless pancake recipe really is an easy and simple one that you can prepare from the ingredients you have almost always at home.

And it will probably remain your go-to recipe when you want to whip up some pancakes real quick for a breakfast, snack or simple dessert. 

Eggless pancake recipe ingredients 

To make these egg-free pancakes, you will need the following ingredients: 

• all-purpose flour: I like to us all-purpose flour in these pancakes because it's the most available one and I almost always have it at home 
• sweetener: I use coconut sugar in my pancake recipes because it is a natural dry ingredient that I find mixes the best with the rest of the pancake ingredients to make the perfect pancakes
• leavening agent: although in some cases you can go without a leavening agent, since we don't have eggs in this recipe, it is best it an ingredient like baking powder is used to achieve nice and fluffy pancakes
• salt: always add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the rest of the ingredients 
• milk: you need a bit of liquid to make these pancakes and milk is somehow always the first choice. I make mine with plant-based almond milk 
• yogurt: use some full-fat creamy yogurt to add to the flavor and texture of the pancakes 
• coconut oil: this is my fat choice for pancakes. I like to use the flavored coconut oil because it adds to the aroma of the pancakes 

How To Make An Eggless Homemade Pancake Recipe - Step-by-Step Photos

​Follow these simple instructions to make the most tender egg free pancakes.  

1. Put all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix.

2. Put all the wet ingredients into a separate bowl and whisk. 

3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until you have a smooth pancake batter.

4. Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is heated, if you don't have a non-stick pan, add a quarter of a teaspoon of coconut oil or spray with some non-stick cooking spray.

5. Put one tablespoon of the batter on the pan. Bake for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles are formed on top.

6. Flip using a spatula and bake for another 1 - 2 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown.

8. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool for about 5 minutes prior to serving.

Eggless Pancakes Substitutes

In case you don't have any of the ingredients for the original egg free pancakes recipe, try substituting them as mentioned below:

• flour: instead of all-purpose flour, you can just as easily try with self-rising flour or whole wheat flour. I have also tried it with buckwheat flour and works just as good 
• sweetener: you can try with a liquid sweetener as well but I would always recommend using a natural one then like maple syrup or another natural syrup 
• leavening agent: you can use baking soda as a substitute to baking powder. Just make sure you keep yogurt as an ingredient because its slight sourness will help the baking soda do its magic 
• milk: you can use cow's milk or another non-dairy milk like oat milk
• yogurt: instead of plain yogurt you can use a plant-based one or substitute with the white fatty part of coconut milk 
• coconut oil: as a fatty ingredient to the pancakes you can try butter or another vegetable oil

Favorite pancake toppings 

​Although this easy pancake recipe without eggs makes pancakes that are just as delicious by themselves, you can always serve your stack of pancakes with some extra toppings: 

• fresh fruit: my absolute favorite 
• chocolate chips: make your chocolate chip pancakes by sprinking some simple chocolate chips on top 
• chopped nuts: adds some extra healthy fats and energy to your pancake mix
