The Best Eggless Pancakes
Pancakes are, without a doubt, my favorite breakfast food. My mom used to make these pancakes without eggs for me every weekend, and they're my all-time favorite. So I had to share the recipe with you, and I know I'm biased, but I really think this is the best pancake recipe ever!
Trust me, after one bite, you'll be convinced.
These no egg pancakes are incredibly light and fluffy with a sweet and buttery flavor and slightly crispy edges that give them an addictive texture. Honestly, you don't even need maple syrup, but it does make them that much better!
Oh, and in addition to being delicious, these egg free pancakes are so easy to make. In fact, they're just as easy as any classic pancake recipe. Just mix all of the ingredients together to whip up the pancake batter, and then cook 'em up.
It really is so simple, and you can effortlessly make some breakfast sides at the same time. If you're wondering what to serve with pancakes, I prefer this million dollar bacon or this Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage.
INGREDIENTS
As I mentioned earlier, this eggless pancake recipe is made with pantry staples. So if you're a regular baker like I am, then you probably have everything you need at home already!
Anyway, here's what you'll need to make these pancakes without eggs:
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh berries
- Maple syrup or agave syrup
Not bad, eh?
Now, I truly do think these are the best pancakes, but I have two other pancake recipes that are pretty darn delicious too, and you can use a lot of the same ingredients to make them. So I highly suggest you check out these pancakes without milk and this pancake recipe without baking powder next!
Oh, and if you have a cookie craving but have an egg allergy, you can use all of these ingredients to make these eggless chocolate chip cookies sometime!
MY INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTION RECOMMENDATION
I think this recipe is perfect as is, but don't be afraid to customize it depending on your preferences.
For instance, if you want to make vegan pancakes then you easily can with a few simple swaps. All you have to do is substitute the dairy milk for non dairy milk - I prefer unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk - and swap the melted butter for vegan butter.
As for the flour, I use regular all-purpose flour, but you can easily use whole wheat flour or even oat flour instead. It'll change the flavor a little bit, but these pancakes without eggs will be just as delicious.
Oh, and you'll want to be sure to keep the baking powder in the recipe and do not swap it with baking soda. The baking powder will add an extra fluffiness to the pancakes and really makes the texture so good.
HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS PANCAKES
Now it's almost time to make pancakes without eggs!
As I mentioned earlier, making these eggless pancakes is as easy as it gets. The hardest part is seriously waiting for them to cook on the griddle!
So, with that said, let's stop wasting time and make some pancakes!
STEP 1: MAKE THE PANCAKE BATTER
First things first, you're going to make the pancake batter. To do that, you'll want to take out a medium bowl and whisk together the milk, melted butter, water, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Once the wet ingredients are combined, you can stir in the flour and baking powder. Make sure not to overmix the eggless pancake batter and just stir until all of the ingredients combine into a smooth pancake batter.
STEP 2: COOK THE PANCAKES
Now that the pancake batter is ready, it's time to cook the pancakes!
First, you'll want to heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Then, you can add ¼ cup of the pancake batter to the hot griddle and let the pancakes cook on medium low heat until bubbles appear on the surface. Once you notice the bubbles, you'll want to carefully flip the pancakes and cook 'em for another minute.
As soon as they're cooked, you can transfer your golden brown pancakes to a separate plate and cover them with a paper towel so they stay warm. Then you can repeat this cooking process with the remaining batter.
STEP 3: ADD TOPPINGS AND SERVE
Once you've cooked all of your eggless pancakes, you can serve them warm, topped with fresh fruit, some more butter, maple syrup, and even whipped cream for an extra indulgent breakfast.
Enjoy!
HOW TO STORE EGGLESS PANCAKES
This recipe for eggless pancakes makes about eight pancakes. So, it really makes the perfect amount for a big family breakfast. With that said, you could easily make more if you want! All you have to do is double or triple the number of ingredients.
Then, if you have any leftover pancakes, simply store them in an airtight container and keep 'em in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Alternatively, if you want your leftover pancakes to last longer, you can freeze them. Simply store them in an airtight container - or freezer-safe bag - for up to 3 months. For what it's worth, I love making extra pancakes and freezing them to have a quick breakfast on hand at all times!
HOW TO REHEAT PANCAKES
Once you're ready to enjoy these delicious pancakes without eggs again, you'll definitely want to reheat them.
The quickest way to reheat your refrigerated - or frozen pancakes - is to pop them in the microwave in about 10-second increments, flipping them between each increment until they're fully reheated.
If you want to reheat more than one pancake at a time, your best bet is to use the oven. Just place the no egg pancakes on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and heat them in the oven at 325°F for about 5 minutes or until they reach your desired temperature.
