Fluffy Egg-Free or Eggless Pancakes
"My son has an egg allergy and we wanted him to eat pancakes as light and fluffy as the ones we love. After all, we don't want to cook twice! You can adjust the cinnamon and vanilla to your tastes. Top with real maple syrup or fruit preserves. I used whole milk because my son is under 2, but you can easily use 2% or skim. He loves to eat these pancakes. I spread the left overs on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer for a few hours. Then I toss them in a big ziploc bag and place back in the freezer so he can take them to his daycare."

- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups milk

- Flip the pancake when bubbles form and begin to pop. Keep the heat medium to medium low; they burn fast.

Would olive oil work as a substitute

I'm fasting for a Hindu holiday. I made some additions though. Melted butter, sugar, salt and no oil. Came out just fine. Consistency wise you can tell the difference but I'll definitely cook again. -
My daughter was also recently diagnosed with an egg white allergy. Now she can still enjoy pancakes thanks to your great recipe! The pancakes turn out super fluffy. Next time I make it, I will make smaller portions so the pancakes cook thoroughly, replace 1 cup white flour with whole wheat flour, and add some bananas, and a little more sugar and a dash of salt. -
I used half the ingredieñts, used vegetable oil instead, I also used almond powdered milk and 1 additional teaspoon sugar. I also didn't use the stovetop I did them in my sandwich maker. I also added half of a banana to half the batter for a little variety. They were lovely. I ran out of eggs n they were just as fluffy and yummy. Thank you so much.

Making the pancakes exactly as the recipe says, the pancakes taste more like soft pretzels. The baking powder was way too strong. I added 5x the amount of sugar and 3x the vanilla to combat the bitterness. Load it with syrup and these are actually pretty good. Theyre not fluffy but they get the job done.

Decent recipe for no eggs. They were fluffy. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of regular milk because we usually don't keep cow's milk around. No sugar at the house so I used 4 packets of equal. Not very sweet but fine when adding syrup.

Make sure you know the cinnamon is optional! But it might taste more fun with the cinnamon. -
Tons more sugar and vanilla.

Yum! The trick is really to wait a looooong time so that they get that nice golden brown on the stove. I replaced 1/4 of the flour (one-half cup) with whole wheat for a little more fiber. These were thick, fluffy, and a great ways use up my expiring milk when I didn't have any eggs! I topped with powdered sugar since there wasn't much sweetness in the ingredients. Thanks! -

I'm married to a great man, and 10 months ago we had our first child, Dylan. He is amazing! I teach English, so I feel like my time is torn between my students and my family. But food is my passion. I love finding meals that make my husband happy; I know that sounds so 1950's, but I swear I'm a feminist. I just enjoy pleasing people with my culinary creations. I'm always on the lookout for something that is easy to make, tastes great, and allows me to spend more quality time with my family rather than in the kitchen.
