This eggless pancakes really do taste like the real thing! Fluffy, easy and quick to make, require just a few simple ingredients and are freezer-friendly…. definitely a breakfast winner!
Easy and Quick Eggless Pancakes Recipe
I would never have thought it was possible to make pancakes without eggs. In fact, it sounds bizarre. I always thought that the egg was the key ingredient for super-fluffy and delicious pancakes … I was sooo wrong!
You won’t believe how good these pancakes are until you prepare them yourself.
These egg-free pancakes are a BIG hit every single time! They are fluffy, easy and quick to make, require just a few simple ingredients and are freezer-friendly.
HOW TO FREEZE PANCAKES?
Wrap the cooled pancakes in wax paper and then stack them all in a gallon-size freezer bag. Make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible in order to prevent freezer burn.
HOW TO REHEAT FROZEN PANCAKES?
Remove the pancakes from the freezer, let them stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. OVEN: cover with tinfoil and heat in a preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until warm. MICROWAVE: wrap a pancake in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 -40 secs, or until heated through.
Meanwhile my mission, as a mom, is to provide her as many egg-free delicious options as possible so she does not feel limited or sidelined.

Is it possible to use heavy cream instead of buttermilk to make the sweet cream type of pancakes ?
Hello Jasmine! We haven’t tested it personally, but you can certainly give it a try (taste and texture will be different). Let us know how it turns out for you!
Osm recipe 👍🏻
Thanks Isha!
Fantastic pancakes! So happy our egg allergy daughter can indulge in a pancake breakfast too!
Hello Mandy! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed this recipe. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Dear Oriana,
These are the BEST pancakes ever!
My 2 year old daughter has an egg allergy so I have been doing a lot of research into eggless recipes.
I have tried a few of your recipes now and also ordered your cookbook. I can not wait for it to arrive!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your wisdom with us all!
Hugs,
Sadieka

Divinas, las preparé y me encantaron. Me quedo con esta receta de panquecas. ¡Muchas gracias por compartirla!
Hola Gabriela! Me alegra mucho que te gustó esta receta. Estas panquecas son las favoritas de mi hija, así que las hago todas las semana. Muchas gracias por probar mi receta y por dejar tu comentario. XO
These pancakes were amazing. I don’t like thick, cakey pancakes but these were similar to crepes…a little thicker. I didn’t have self-rising flour so followed the directions and added the baking powder. I will definitely make these again
Hello Patricia! Sounds like you nailed it. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
These pancakes are the best! They are so fluffy and delicious! They have become a household favorite. I completely recommend. ?
Hello Katelyn! I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed them so much. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
A lovely recipe, thanks for sharing!
Also may I say that you’ve made quite a nice blog here.
I used to run my own so I have some background to the work that goes into it, can’t wait to explore more recipes here thank you once again ?!
Hello Jamie! Thanks so much for your feedback, it’s really appreciated. Also, thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
I made these pancakes and they are so delicious. Really soft and fluffy kept well in the fridge for a week. I just popped them in the toaster and they were nice and fresh again. Love them.
Hello Kata! I’m so glad you love this recipe. I make them at least once per week. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Looking forward to trying this! I’m wondering if there is a way to make it with plan-based milk (oat) instead of dairy milk. Any suggestions?
Oops! Just saw somebody else asked this. I will try your advice posted below. Thanks!
Great!
Hello Melissa! Many readers have used plant-based milk with great success. Just follow the same steps. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Can I use milk alternatives as my child is allergic to dairy?
Hello Ashlee! Yes, you can use your favorite plant-based milk. Just mix 1 cup of plant-based milk and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, or lemon juice. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 to 8 minutes. When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened and you will see small curdled bits. Hope that helps!
This is my go-to pancake recipe! So yummy and fluffy. I found my batter kinda thick so I added extra 1/3 cup of milk to thin in out a little bit and my pancakes turned out amazing! And I put a pinch of cinnamon too!
Hello Kristine! Sounds like you nailed it. I love the idea of adding cinnamon. Thank you so much for letting me know!
Are these fluffy??
Hello Riya! Yes, they are. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Greetings from South Africa 🙂
Our family loves these pancakes! So simple and delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
Hello Tamsyn! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =) xo- Ori
Could you sub the buttermilk with a dairy free option?
Hello Suzette! Yes, you can but I would recommend adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per cup of dairy-free milk. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
this was an awesome pancake so i think you should use this resipe. yeah
So glad you enjoyed it, Jay! Thanks for letting me know =)
Hello!
These are amazing, by boyfriend has an allergy to eggs and nuts and loves them. About as much as your eggless cupcake recipe.
I was wondering, the nutritional info is that for the whole batch or per pankcake?
Thanks for all your recipes 🙂
Hello E J! So glad everyone enjoyed them =) The nutritional info is for one serving = 1 pancake. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
This worked like a dream!!! Thanks, my daughter was Extremely Happy to have them. God bless you, so happy.
Hello Kanika! I’m delighted to hear that your daughter enjoyed it so much. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Thank you so much for this recipe. My one year old was diagnosed with egg and peanut allergies and your blog has been a life saver. Today I made these pancakes and they were spot on! I even used your vanilla eggless recipe to make his first birthday cake. Thank you again!! Many blessings to you!
Hello Mica! I’m so glad you enjoy my recipes. Make sure to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.
Made these this morning and they were a hit with the whole family! This is now our go to pancake recipe! Not only were the pancakes fluffy and delicious but the house smelled delicious as well! Thank you! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
Hello Susan! Wow, what a compliment! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.
Hi Oriana! Those pancakes are making my mouth water!! I was looking for an egg-free blueberry pancake recipe but couldn’t really find one that was as good as the ones with eggs. Can I just fold in some blueberries into this batter to make some delicious eggless blueberry pancakes? If yes, would a half or 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries do?
Hello Angela! Yes, you add blueberries to the batter. 1/2 – 3/4 cup is okay, up to you. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Can I use almond milk instead of buttermilk for milk allergy? Would it affect the taste any?
Hello Jennifer! Yes, you can. Use 1 cup of almond milk for every cup of buttermilk called for in the recipe. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar per cup of plant milk. Let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes, then use it in place of the buttermilk. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Fantastic pancakes. I’ve made different eggless versions of pancake but this one is my kids favourite. I never use any other version anymore. You need the buttermilk though so I don’t recommend making without it (I’ve tried this lol). I’m thrilled with how the website has grown – we’ll be baking our way through almost all the eggless ones for sure. Thanks
Sounds like you nailed it, Eggless Family! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Some of the best homemade pancakes we’ve had! Only looked this up because we were out of eggs, but this will be my new ‘go to’ pancake mix. Our toddler also loved these! Many thanks for sharing.
Hello Paul! Wow, what a compliment =) I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Hi,
I do not use self rising flour. How can I substitute
Thank you
Hello Renuka! You can use regular fine flour and add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt per cup of flour. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
The pancakes ,in my kid’s words are super duper awesome. I subbed self raising with ww flour+ 1tspn bkng pwdr.
Hello Ami! WOW…what a compliment! I’m so glad you kid enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Superb i thought we cannot make fluffy pancakes without egg. I used palm sugar and it came out well. Can we use whole wheat flour instead of self raising?
Hello Sathya! Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but in that case, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder. They will be denser, but still good.
No allergies here- we just ran out of eggs! These were great! I used only 1 Tbsp sugar instead of 1/4 cup because my favorite recipe uses no sugar- and it is my favorite so I thought we would be ok to skimp! And it totally was I wouldn’t add more if I made this recipe again!
Hello Holly! Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe. ?
I made these when the kids wanted eggs and pancakes and I didnt have enough eggs to do both. Thanks for the recipe! You saved breakfast! They were delicious!
Hello Ginny! I am happy my recipe was helpful to you. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Grins. Ran out of eggs and needed an eggless pancake recipe. Trying a homemade batch of buttermilk (made with a starter of buttermilk and whole milk), so needed an eggless, buttermilk pancake mix. Went to mix the dry ingredients and didn’t have self-rising flour, so had to do a substitution, In spite of all these changes, your recipe worked a charm. Tender, fluffy pancakes. Will certainly return to these again.
Hello Kathi! Thanks for trying this recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!!
I’m so glad I found you! I have an egg allergy that has progressively gotten worse as I’ve grown up and there are so many treats like buttermilk pancakes and French toast that I miss. Thank you so much for the recipes 🙂
Hello Tiffany! I am so happy you found my recipes. Please make sure to contact me if you have any question or request. ?
52 years old and having to come to grips with a life-long food allergy to eggs.. 🙁
For those of you using whole wheat flour, this is the ingredient list that I used for a double batch of large pancakes. The egg-free pancakes are outstanding!
Ingredients
• 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup unrefined organic sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
Hello James! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed these. Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Hi Oriana, I don’t normally leave comments online but felt I absolutely had to let you know how AMAZING this recipe turned out for us!! As egg eaters, we will always make our pancakes eggless, thanks to you!! Best wishes from London, UK
Hello Nikki! Thanks so much for trying my recipe. Could you please share what did you use instead of buttermilk? Many readers from Europe write to me telling me that buttermilk is not available so I am curious to know what you used. Thanks so much in advance for the feedback. ?
Hi Oriana, I used full fat milk (blue top here in the UK) and they tasted lovely! Will be trying your eggless choc cake next 🙂
Hello Nikki!! Thanks for trying this recipe and for your feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed it ? P.S. The chocolate cake is to die for ?
Awesome recipe. We were having breakfast for dinner and these went down a treat.
I added a 1/4 cup banana in replace of any sugar to sweeten since we didn’t have a lot of syrup.
Worked well.
Have you ever used banana in your baked goods to replace the egg? Works well in brownies. 🙂
Hello Amy! Yes, I have used bananas as an egg replacer. It works great. The problem is that my youngest does not like bananas so I don’t use it as much as I wish. I’m very happy you enjoyed these pancakes. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Hola Oriana, gusto saludarte desde Venezuela. I was looking for an egg less cake recipe for my daughter B-day tomorrow as I can´t find eggs anywhere!!!!! I also found your pancakes and made them today for breakfast, AMAZING!!! kids loved them. Hope the vanilla egg less cake comes out as good as the pancakes, will let you know!!
Hola Marien! Que lindo recibir tu mensaje. Me alegra mucho que esta receta haya sido de ayuda. A mi familia también adora las panquecacas, yo las congelo para tenerlas a mano todo el tiempo. Déjame saber si tienes alguna pregunta. Un abrazo ?
Hi there! Just tried out this recipe and the results are amazing. I thinned out my buttermilk just a little and added some sugar. The pancakes are super light and pillowy. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Melissa! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed the pancakes. These are my kids’ favorite breakfast. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
This will be my go to recipe for m now on! Scrumptious Pancakes every time. I added some chocolate chips to the last batch I made and oh I tell you what, those were gone in a hurry. Fortunely no egg allergy here just a very tight budget.
So I Thank you for a money saving, deliscious recipe!!!
Hello Brenda!! I’m SO GLAD you love it. I also add chocolate chips and blueberries sometimes and my kids love it. We usually are also on a tight budget so I can relate to. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Made this recipe for my daughter for Pancake Tuesday. My hubby told me to just buy the ready made mix for him and the others kids that can have eggs. I ended up throwing out the store and making another batch of these ad everyone loved them. My hubby couldn’t believe they where egg free. Thank you
Hello Melissa! These pancakes are amazing ?? I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
One of my friends is severely allergic to albumin in egg white. She couldn’t enter the university dining hall for breakfast— egg saturated the air enough to affect her. Her allergic response only got worse since she was diagnosed as a child.
I haven’t seen her for years, but I now have to be culturally aware of coworkers whose beliefs do not allow them to eat eggs. I’m planning on inviting one over for breakfast after our last night shift for the week.
I’ll keep an eye on your blog for other eggless ideas:)
Hello Cheryl! Unfortunately, egg allergy is very common nowadays. I’m happy you found my blog. If you are hosting breakfast I highly recommend my waffles recipe (https://mommyshomecooking.com/eggless-waffles/). This pancake recipe is fantastic too. Please let me know if you have any question. Thanks for stopping by.
hi,

OMG.. Thank u souuu much.. I tried this today n can’t tell u hw great it came out.. n d taste.. mmmmmm just melts in d mouth.. I had with my fav combo ice cream n pancake ?? Many many thanks once again n good wishes for all yr future projects ??
Hello Henal! I’m so glad you love this recipe too. Thank you so much for letting me know! ?
These turned out amazing! Is it possible to refrigerate the batter overnight and re-use the following day?
Hello Nita! I am so glad you like this recipe. I have never refrigerated the batter overnight. The thing is that leavening agents are activated as soon as they come into contact with the wet ingredients, and my guess is that they will get less effective with time. If you try please let me know how the pancakes turn out.
I’m sorry, but these pancakes were terrible. So dry and bland. Had to drench them in syrup to make them edible.
I am sorry this recipe didn’t work for you, Cathy! I make two batches per week and there nothing dry or bland about these pancakes when I make them.
I ran out of eggs, but my daughter wanted pancakes! This recipe is so yummy! Thanks for sharing!!! I will definitely be making these again.
Hello Mandy!!I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!
I have 3 kids, so I modified your recipe a little. I used 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup wheat flour, doubled everything else. I didn’t have vanilla extract so I used 1/4 cup vanilla soy milk.
They turned out really great, thank you for posting!
I also added 1 tsp of baking powder because I didn’t have/use the self-rising.
Hi Rick! Thank YOU for taking the time to come back and let me know.
gonna try soon thanks for recipe
Thanks Lola!! Please let me know how you like it =)
Hi Oriana,
Could I use regular flour instead of self rising? And what type of container do you suggest is best for freezing?
Thanks!
~Melissa~
Hello Melissa – If using regular flour add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This is what I do: I wrap the pancakes in wax paper and then stack them all in a gallon-size freezer bag. To reheat I wrap a pancake in a damp paper towel and microwave for a 30 -45 secs.
Very good recipe for pure vegetarian like me Thanks!
Thanks Preeti!! I make 2 batches every week and then put them on the freezer for later use.
Eating these now ! Soo good ! I used
Bisquick instead of flour . I ate three . I never eat three !!
These are our fave too Andrea!! I glad you like them. Thanks for your feedback. ?
Thank you! All this time I thought that pancakes = eggs. My son has a egg allergy and I havent eaten pancakes for allmost a year now (brestfeeding).
Recipe worked perfectly! Thank you!
Martiina from Estonia
Thank You. We just found out my son is allergic to peanuts and eggs. So I’m in the search for recipes. Going to try this weekend.
I keep coming back to drool on the pancakes and the amazing picture. Will try the recipe for sure.
Sylvie… you’re funny! Let me know what how you like them.
They look so delicious! I love your pictures!
Wow! I thought you surely couldn’t make pancakes without eggs. Those look yummy, too!
Your pictures just made my stomach growl loudly. They look SO GOOD!!!
These look amazing! I didn’t know you could make egg-free pancakes! Thanks for sharing.
Me encanto esta receta, porque no puedo comer huevos y de esta manera me puedo comer todos los pankakes que quiera. Gracias por rica receta!
That sounds like an awful allergy to have. Eggs are everywhere! Those pancakes look great though!
