Fluffy Egg-Free Pancakes made from scratch, a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch treat. Ready in about 15 minutes only, these pancakes are the very best you can get. And no sugar added either.
Ok, I must confess, I wasn't planning to make egg-free pancakes, but regular ones. I only realised there were no eggs left after I had promised the little ones pancakes. And God forbid you promise something to kids and not keep your word!
That's it, there is no going back, and pancakes had to be made. Luckily, I did have everything else I needed, so the rest was easy peasie. And even without eggs, these pancakes are the fluffiest, yummiest, and easiest to make.
You can't possibly go wrong with this recipe. And if you have egg allergy, then this definitely is the recipe for you! I find myself making pancakes pretty often nowadays, since my daughters like them for breakfast.

Substitute for eggs in pancakes
I personally think that BANANAS ARE THE BEST EGG SUBSTITUTE when it comes to anything sweet. Now, again, I don't usually worry about eggs in a recipe, but when I do use bananas, I get perfect results every single time.
Just ensure that the bananas are well ripen, in this way the also give sweetness and more flavour, which means you can safely cut down on the amount of refined sugar. A win-win situation, if you ask me.
Also, BAKING POWDER HELPS TOO. Add half a teaspoon (I find that more than that gives a funny taste to the pancakes), and just use plain flour, the pancakes will be perfectly done. DO USE COCONUT OIL TOO, it adds a nice flavour, and helps replace the egg too.
How to make egg-free pancakes
You know me already, I try to reduce the amount of sugar whenever possible, so do feel free to add some sugar to these pancakes if you find them boring. Although, if you have them with honey or maple syrup, and fully ripen fruit, I would say that is pretty sweet anyway. Right, so how to get these beauties perfectly fluffy and yummy?
- first of all, do make sure the heat is on low, so that you don't burn the pancakes.
I find that if they cook way too quickly, chances are they won't have the right texture, so better take your time. Not that they take too long anyway.
- sift the flour, add the baking powder, and mix
- in a jug, pour in the milk, add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil
- mash the banana with a fork, and add it to the flour together with the wet ingredients
- mix well to get a lump-free batter
- use a drop of oil to grease a non-stick pan, add about a ladleful of batter at a time, and cook on both sides for 1-2 minutes
- serve with berries and maple syrup
And that is all, a delicious egg-free pancakes recipe to lick your fingers clean.

Best pancakes I’ve ever had! Used butter instead of coconut oil because I didn’t have any. I don’t like eggs and prefer to use banana in baking anyways.
