Fluffy Egg-Free or Eggless Pancakes

redjonesy's Note:

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.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 12.0 pancakes

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Heat a griddle or pan on the stove top. The griddle is ready for pancakes when water dropped on the hot griddle rolls and sizzles.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients.
3. Add the milk, water, oil, and vanilla.
4. Mix well, but don't over stir; a few lumps are okay.
5. Drop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
6. Flip the pancake when bubbles form and begin to pop. Keep the heat medium to medium low; they burn fast.
7. Enjoy!

I've been using this recipe for over a year now - it is THE best pancake recipe ever! I use whole wheat sometimes & I've used soy milk and cow's milk - whatever I have on hand - but other than that I stick to this recipe and it works like a dream - It is EXCELLENT!! My son is allergic to eggs and even if he outgrew it I would stick with this recipe! <3 much love thanks for sharing this!

This recipe is great and super simple! My family and I loved them! I did not include the cinnamon or the vanilla and substituted the milk with Vanilla soy milk - yummy!!

Very nice and fluffy! I made a few changes though... substituted 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for the regular, and added 1 tbsp Flax seeds and some blueberries. Kids ate them all up!
