Egg-Free Pancakes
Our egg-free pancake recipe is SO simple. You will love them.
Seriously, I make these several times a month. Last weekend, I doubled the batch and made 12! I froze most of them, and Riley had breakfast for a week. This will definitely be excellent during the school year, when the mornings are insanely busy.
I figured out the recipe works a little better with actual buttermilk. With buttermilk, the batter thickens almost instantly. However, I don’t always have it on hand. The Pioneer Woman taught me that I could make my own substitute with milk and vinegar. It totally works. The ratio is 1 cup milk : 1 TBS vinegar. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes on the counter. Give it a small stir before you pour it into the batter mix.
While I am waiting for the vinegar to work on the milk, I melt the butter, sift the flour and baking powder.
If you don’t have baking powder, you could substitute 1/2 tsp baking soda. But in all of my egg-free recipes, I prefer to use baking powder. It fluffs things up.

Notes
We tried this recipe in the waffle maker at my mom’s house. It worked perfectly! If you are an egg-free house, like ours, this is a wonderfully versatile recipe for your stock pile. And when I order my waffle maker, I’ll post about the waffle version. Yum!
When I make these pancakes, I always add chocolate chips. Chocolate chip pancakes are Riley’s faves. Of course, you can mix it up any way you would like: banana slices, blueberries, strawberries, nuts. The sky is the limit. Have fun with it!
I hope you love them as much as we do! Let me know if you make them. I would love your feedback.
