  • Melted butter:
    • I prefer to use unsalted butter in my cooking/baking because I like to control the salt in the recipe. But you can use salted butter and if so skip the salt in the recipe.
    • If you want to make them vegan, then use the same amount of oil instead of butter.
  • Water: It should be at room temperature. Not hot, cold, or warm water.
  • Sugar: I do not like super sweet pancakes, so this amount will give slight sweetness. But if you prefer sweet then increase the sugar amount.

👩‍🍳 How To Make Pancakes Without Eggs?

1) Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder) in a bowl.

5) Now heat the pan on medium heat. Once hot add some butter. I use the stick and just swirl around the center of the pan by holding the stick with the hand.

6) Now take around ⅓ cup of batter.

7) Pour into the hot pan, DO NOT spread. Let the batter flow by itself.

8) You will see lots of bubbles that will form and break. When the bubbles stop breaking, you will notice, edges are cooked, but the center is still wet. It is time to flip.

9) Flip the pancake with a spatula. You will see nice light golden color in the bottom.

10) Cook the other side as well till it is golden as well, you can lift slightly with a spatula and see if it is ready or not. Repeat the same with rest of the batter.

🥞 Toppings For Eggless Pancakes

Go wild with your imaginations. Mix and match toppings and make your stack of eggless pancakes delicious or just enjoy them plain. There are a few options I have shared below, let me know yours in the comments below.

  • Butter & maple syrup: the classic!!
  • Fruits: fresh fruits add colors, freshness and juicy, sweet taste. I like berries or peach with maple syrup, you can add a banana with caramel sauce, cinnamon-spiced cooked apple or pear slices.
  • Nuts: Along with fruits, sometimes I add toasted nuts like walnuts, slivered almonds, or pecans.
  • Syrups: I mostly prefer maple syrup. But you can use any other sauces like butterscotch sauce, caramel, chocolate sauce. Or simply use honey.
  • Jams & spreads: You can spread any fruit jam, eggless lemon curd or spreads like warm peanut butter, nutella, or any your choice of nut butter.
  • Chocolate: You can top your eggfree pancakes with chocolate chips or mix in the batter before cooking.

💭 Expert Tips For Eggfree Pancakes

  • Do not overmix the batter. Otherwise, pancakes without eggs will lose fluffiness and becomes tough.
  • Size of pancake: I prefer to use ⅓ cup of batter to make medium-sized (around 5-inch diameter) pancake. You can make small or big as per your preference.
  • Do not spread the batter: After pouring the batter into the hot pan, do not spread the batter to get thick and fluffy eggless pancakes.
  • Double or triple: This recipe makes 8 medium-sized eggfree pancakes. You can double or triple the ingredients to make a bigger batch.
  • Spreading butter on hot pan: Make sure not to add too much butter, a very little amount is enough. Instead, you can use nonstick cooking spray.

📖 Freezing instructions

  • Let the eggless pancakes cool down completely.
  • Arrange them on a baking sheet on a single layer. Pop it into the freezer.
  • Once frozen place them into a freezer-safe ziplock bag and freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Remove from the bag (no need to defrost), reheat in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel until piping hot. I do not recommend reheating into the oven because they get dry out quickly.

FAQs

If making a bigger batch, how to keep eggless pancakes warm?

Preheat the oven to 200°F, arrange cooked pancakes on a baking sheet on a single layer. And keep them in the oven to keep them warm until ready to eat.

How do I know when to flip the pancake?

To keep these eggless pancakes fluffy and thick, do not let the top layer cook completely. The center is still wet, but the edges look dry and cooked. This is the perfect time to flip.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

NO. most of the baking powder I have seen in the stores are double-acting. It means that the first leavening occurs when baking powder gets wet. So as soon as the batter is made it starts to react. Longer it sits, it loses its effect and initial rise. FYI, second leavening occurs when it gets heated up.

What happens when you add extra eggs to pancakes? ›

Eggs are a crucial ingredient. They provide the cakes with the structure to hold light bubbles. Eggs also give the batter additional, richer flavor from the yolk fat. If you add too many eggs, you'll have “pancakes” that look more like custard or crepes.

What happens when you add baking powder to pancakes? ›

What should you avoid when mixing pancake batter? ›

Over-Mixing the Batter

A slightly lumpy pancake batter is actually a good thing. Sure, our natural instinct when mixing a batter is to make sure everything is nice and smooth—but resist it. Over-mixing develops gluten in the batter, which means heavier, chewier pancakes, rather than light and fluffy hotcakes.

What can I use instead of eggs in a pancake mix? ›

Mashed fruit as an egg substitute works best in moist and dense recipes such as brownies, muffins, quick breads, pancakes, and waffles.
  1. Banana: 1/4 to 1/2 cup mashed or pureed.
  2. Unsweetened applesauce: 1/4 cup.
  3. Avocado: 1/4 cup.
  4. Pumpkin puree: 1/4 cup.
  5. Rehydrated and pureed prunes, raisins, soaked dates: 1/4 cup.

Can I use vinegar instead of baking powder in pancakes? ›

Though any type of vinegar will work, white vinegar has the most neutral taste and won't alter the color of your final product. Substitute each teaspoon (5 grams) of baking powder in the recipe with 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) vinegar.
