Breakfast is an important meal of the day for me, and I love something that is quick, easy, and filling. If there is one dish that comes close to this pancake and ticks all the boxes for me, it is vegan pumpkin banana bread with warming spices. One of my go-to options lately has been a slice of chocolate chunk banana bread. It's not only packed with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas but also gives me a little indulgence with those rich, melty chunks of chocolate.

If you have any questions regarding these ingredients, feel free to ask in the comments section below and I will try my best to answer them for you.

Can you make pancakes without eggs?

Absolutely you can! Here is a quick overview of this no-eggs pancakes recipe.

Texture: Even though these pancakes have no eggs, they are fluffy like a dream! The baking powder makes them soft enough for me to not have to add baking soda. The all purpose flour gives these pancakes a lightness.

Ease: These homemade pancakes without eggs are a breeze to make! Seriously, you cannot go wrong with them. Just mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients separately and then combine them together - that's it!

Adaptability: This is a vegan version of the classic pancake recipe. You can make it gluten free if you make it with buckwheat or millet flour. Moreover, you can also add flavors to make this recipe more interesting, based on what you feel like having: see the notes section below for ideas.

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.

Pour a ladle of batter and drizzle ½ teaspoon of oil.

When bubbles appear on the top and a few of them pop, flip the pancake over. Drizzle ½ teaspoon more oil. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown and is dry.

A soft and fluffy pancake is see cooking in a black colored pan. The pancake has holes that are made with air bubbles on the top.
Fluffy eggless pancakes that have golden brown edges are cooking in a pan.

Remove from pan and keep aside.

Cook the rest of the pancakes in the same way.

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!

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.

Another breakfast recipe that you try are these vegan waffles - they are both delicious and satisfying!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of eggs in pancakes?

Ingredients that can replace eggs in a pancake are mashed banana, applesauce, ground flaxseed or baking powder as I have used in this recipe which will make the fluffiest pancake without having to add egg.

It is easy to make eggless American pancakes. All you need is flour, oil, milk, salt, sugar, ground cinnamon and baking powder.

Yes, you can substitute milk in pancakes with plant-based alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, and rice milk.

    These are the best vegan pancakes! I couldn't believe how light and fluffy they are, and best of all, they came together quickly. They taste great - we served them with coconut yoghurt and fresh fruit. The perfect breakfast.
