How to Make Pancakes without Eggs

April 19, 2018 by victor 36 Comments

A stack of eggless pancakes on a white plate and garnished with berries and dusted with powdered sugar.

Pancakes are a favorite breakfast dish for millions of people. I am no exception – I love homemade pancakes. You know, the old-fashioned kind, made completely from scratch? This is an old, tried-and-true egg-less family pancake recipe that I’ve been using for ages. These pancakes are so good that you won’t need another pancake recipe.

What I like the most about this pancake recipe is that the batter can be prepared in just 5 minutes or less. It’s as quick as reaching out for a box of pre-made pancake mix, reading instructions, and adding additional ingredients to it. And you don’t even have to go to the store to buy the ingredients as pretty much every kitchen has flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk. Just go to your home baking station and whip them up in no time.

These pancakes are not very sweet so serve them dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple or corn syrup, or honey. Or with your favorite jam on the side. I love them with my homemade strawberry jam.

The batter in this recipe is fairly thick and makes very thick and fluffy pancakes. If you like your pancakes bigger, add a little bit more buttermilk to thin the batter out.

Five ingredient, super easy Homemade Pancakes Without Eggs. Fluffy and airy texture. No eggs required in this pancake batter recipe. These are the best buttermilk pancakes, hands down. | ifoodblogger.com

    According to my children these pancakes were really good. I liked that they were so easy to prepare, without butter or eggs and that they turned out so very yummy anyway! Added some ground vanilla and only buttered the pan very slightly. Definitely in our cookbook for future use! Greetings from Germany!

    These are the best pancakes I’ve ever made! Perfectly fluffy. Highly recommend starting on a high heat so you can get that really delicious crunch on the outside. 10/10!

      Thank you for the feedback, Rolanda. Glad you liked my recipe. I started making my own kefir last year (with live kefri grains) and used kefir instead of buttermilk. Oh my, liked the pancakes a lot. More flavor, improved texture. Highly recommend.

    The inside of the pancake remains raw, any idea why?

      Ramona, you can try making them thinner (make the batter a little less thick by adding a little more buttermilk). Another way is to cook them over a slightly lower hear but a for little longer that way they will cook through before browning on the outside.

      You mean instead of buttermilk? I don’t see a problem other than the batter may come out a bit too thick but you can always add a bit of water… so yeah, it will work.

    Wow! These are awesome!!! When we found out my daughter was allergic to eggs, I was on a mission to find a yummy eggless pancake recipe. In the past few months I have tried half a dozen different recipes. This one was by far the best! Thanks so much – my whole family loves them! Will be saving this in my recipe book!

    When you say buttermilk, is it yogurt mixed with water? Or milk with vinegar added to it?

      No, just regular buttermilk.

      buttermilk is a kind of soured milk (i think) It is acidic
      if you can’t buy it, then you can make your own with one cup of milk and a tablespoon of an acid like vinegar or lemon juice.

    These pancakes are amazing and taste better than restaurant pancakes! Fluffy and delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have a boy who is allergic to eggs and I have been trying to look for new ways of cooking and baking without eggs. This is a keeper! Thanks again!

      Add triple the amount of baking powder 😉 so since it calls for one tsp., Do three tsp. of baking powder.
      Also this recipe is so very good. Thank you so much for it! It’s amazing.
