    How to make pancakes without eggs

    Let us make these easy and quick 'without eggs' pancakes!

    1. In a bowl, add oil, plant based milk, and vanilla extract. Add salt, sugar, and cinnamon powder. Whisk.
    The wet ingredients for making no eggs pancake batter, namely, oil, vanilla extract, and water are mixed with some brown colored powder which looks like cinnamon powder in a bowl.

    2. Now add the flour in 3-4 batches, mixing in between each batch. Whisk well to make a smooth, lump free batter.

    Batter for pancake is placed in a white round bowl. The batter has brown specks in it which looks like cinnamon powder.

    3. Add the baking powder and pour water on top of it - this will froth up the baking powder. Mix gently.

    Classic pancake batter is placed in a white round bowl. A white powder which looks like baking powder and some vanilla extract are visible on top of the batter.

    The batter is ready.

    Batter for making egg free pancakes is placed in a white bowl. The batter has brown specks and looks like it is ready to be used.

    Make the pancakes: Place a pan over medium heat and make sure it is evenly hot.

    Serving suggestions

    Serve the pancake with toppings of your choice:

    • a generous drizzle of dairy-free chocolate syrup
    • maple or agave syrup
    • fresh berries - I love fresh blueberries and strawberries.
    • oat milk whipped cream or any other plant based cream.

    Tips, Notes, Storage

    Flavor boost: To add more texture and flavor to these eggless pancakes, add some or all of these to the batter:

    • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped apple or applesauce
    • One mashed, over ripe banana
    • 1 tablespoon of raisins
    • 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips (check for dairy free ones)
    • 2 teaspoons of melted butter (the recipe will not be vegan)
    • 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon powder.

    Storing the pancake mix: Mix the dry ingredients ahead-of-time, and store them in a container with lid. When ready to make, just add the wet ingredients and, voila! the pancake batter is ready within minutes!

    Storing the pancake batter: Combine the wet and dry ingredients into a smooth, lump free batter. Store it, in an airtight container with a lid, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    This batter works perfectly in waffle makers as well!

    Any doubts or questions? Feel free to ask via the comments below. I will try my best to answer them for you.

    Variations

    • You can use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons more of water if the batter is too thick. 
    • To make these pancakes gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour with buckwheat or millet flour. Ragi or finger millet works really well.
    • Make banana pancakes by adding a medium sized, over ripe, mashed banana to the batter.
    • Add ½ cup of canned pumpkin to make these egg-free pancakes healthier.

    More easy recipes

    If you, like me, love hassle free cooking, then you will love these recipes that come together in under 20 minutes:

    • Corn and Peas Salad: This easy street-style snack comes together in just 5 minutes and is so delicious!
    • If you want to make a quick side dish and get your daily dose of green, make this spinach stir fry in just 10 minutes. I love having it as a light meal when I want to eat a grain free lunch.
    • I love sweet potatoes for their taste and versatility. Plus they are healthier than regular potatoes and so I often make this 20 minute sauteed sweet potatoes.
