Egg Free Pancakes
These egg-free pancakes are soft and fluffy and have the perfect texture for babies and toddlers. You can make them full-sized, mini-sized, or into tiny pancake cereal bites for a fun twist!
Servings: 12 mini pancakes
Ingredients
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter, slightly cooled or swap with a mild-tasting oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat a pan on medium-low heat.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
- In the same bowl, pour in the milk, oil/melted butter, and maple syrup. Mix until a smooth batter forms. It is ok if there are a few small lumps in the batter. Let the batter stand for 1-2 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or as is!
Notes
- Measure the flour correctly. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off rather than packing it down. Too much flour can make the pancakes dense.
- Let the melted butter cool slightly. You don't want the butter to be hot when you combine it with the milk.
- Since there isn't an egg providing additional lift, fresh baking powder is especially important for fluffy pancakes.
- Cook over medium-low heat. This gives the pancakes enough time to rise and cook through without the outsides becoming too dark.
- Use a good nonstick skillet. If your pan has a good nonstick surface, you may not need to grease it at all. Cooking directly on the nonstick surface can also give you a smoother, more evenly golden exterior.
- Wait for the first side to set before flipping. Look for bubbles on the surface and edges that appear set. Don't press down on the pancakes after flipping.
