What You’ll Need

Here is what you’ll need to make these egg-free pancakes:

• Flour: I used all-purpose flour for these pancakes for the best fluffy texture.
• Milk: I used whole milk in this recipe, but dairy-free alternatives also work here.
• Oil/Melted Butter: For a little added moistness to these waffles. If using oil, make sure to use a mild-tasting oil.
• Cinnamon: Warm spice for added flavor.
• Baking Powder: Leavening agent to help the pancakes rise.
• Maple Syrup: For subtle sweetness.

Step By Step Instructions

1. Preheat a pan on medium-low heat.
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
3. In the same bowl, pour in the milk, oil/melted butter, and maple syrup. Mix until a smooth batter forms. It is okay if there are a few small lumps in the batter. Let the batter stand for 1-2 minutes.
4. Melt additional butter/oil on the preheated pan to fully coat it. Pour about 1 tablespoon portions of batter around the pan and gently spread it to form small mini circles. If you prefer to make larger-sized pancakes, pour more batter onto the pan.
5. Once bubbles begin to form on the pancakes, flip them over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden on both sides.
6. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or as is!

Storage Instructions

Let the pancakes completely cool and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 2 months. You may reheat on low heat in a pan or simply microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through!

Ingredient Substitutions

• All-purpose flour: You may replace the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour. I have not tested out any other flour variations.
• Milk: You may replace the milk with a dairy-free alternative like coconut milk or oat milk.
• Oil: Melted butter may be used in place of the oil.

Recipe Notes

• This recipe makes about 8 mini pancakes. Feel free to double the recipe to make larger-sized pancakes! If you prefer to make pancake cereal bites, pour the batter into a squeeze bottle to make small dime-sized circles on the pan.
• The secret to perfect even browning on pancakes to not to grease the pan. If you have a really good nonstick pan, butter or oil isn’t necessary to coat the pan with, though cooking in butter does add flavor to the pancakes.
• If you are using oil, make sure to use a mild-tasting oil like avocado oil, extra light-tasting olive oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.
