Egg Free Dairy Free Pancakes
March 26, 2006
The kids decided they wanted Pancakes for breakfast today and so I dug around and made this recipe from a number of others I found around the web. I was surprised how well they turned out!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Plain Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon B-Carb Soda (Baking Soda)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Soy Milk (or water will do)
- 1.5 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
Method:
Sift flour and baking soda/powder and salt.
Add sugar. (Whisk these together is you don’t have a sifter.)
Add Vanilla and Oil and half the soy milk. Whisk together.
Gradually add the rest of the soy milk until thick pouring consistency.
Heat Frying pan – needs to be reasonably hot. I used vegetable oil – but you could use spray. Oil/spray for each pancake – they do stick otherwise. I found with this recipe the pancakes worked best if they were on the small side. If the were too big they were difficult to turn.
Can be eaten hot or cold. Our favorite toppings are Maple Syrup; lemon and sugar; and butter (milk free) and jam on the cold ones.
I originally posted this recipe with water as the liquid. Soy milk produces a far better result.
Happy eating!

Thanks for publishing these. My sister and family were in town and this morning I googled online, found this recipe, and made them in no time! Delicious and fluffy, and my sister commented that they are fluffier than her egg and dairy free recipe.

I was making pancakes for the family 6 kids), but my five year daughter is allergic to dairy, eggs and nuts. This time I was determined to find a pancake recipe for her and I came across this on a google search.
They tasted much better than the pre-made box mix. My 3 year old son like these better and wanted seconds!
Thanks

Bella can now eat egg and dairy (though she doesn’t like egg) but prefers this receipe to others we have tried… I think its a stayer!
Glad it helped you out

Hi Kylie. I linked to you & this recipe from my blog this morning. I hope that’s OK. We tried this recipe earlier this week (with a few alterations). We loved it. Thank you so much! My son loves pancakes and has been unable to eat them for over a year now.

I want to thank you for your wonderful blog. My 3 year old daughter has severe food allergies. I have been very creative in finding recipes for her but this one takes the “pancake” She has just decided that she wants to eat what her brother eats and now she can. She had several anaphalatic pardon my spelling, this blog is just wonderful thanks again.

We made these pancakes for Christmas breakfast and they were gone so quickly!! Loved them. The only thing I deviated with was that I added an extra 1/2 tsp vanilla. Yum!
I am in the process of creating a recipe blog to keep up with some of my favorites. I was wondering if you would mind me adding this recipe to it (of course I would link back to you).
Thanks for the recipe!

Dear Kylie,
Thankyou for this recipe! When I dropped my 4 year old daughter off at school this morning I was told they were making pancakes and as she is allergic to milk and egg I had to find an alternative. This was the only recipe I found that I had all the ingredients for. I was able to drop the things off at school and thanks to you my little girl wont be upset or disappointed that she cant join in.

Hi Kylie,
with this recipe can i use wholemeal flour instead of the white as my daughter cannot have the white flour only wholemeal or do you have any advise for me as to another substance that i could use???
Thanks roseana

Hi Roseana,
Now that Bella can have dairy, I use cow’s milk instead of soy milk, and sometimes I also add a little cream if I have some in the fridge.
Other than that, I pretty much stick to the recipe.
I still make these quite often as Bella still prefers these to “normal” pancakes.

Hello Kylie,
I’ve just googled and found your egg and dairy free recipe.Can’t wait to try it – i’ll substitute flour for buckwheat flour.My 2 year old son has bad eczema flares with egg and dairy (possibly wheat too).Did you say you could safely give butter to Bella, even though she had a dairy allergy? Where do you find milk-free butter?

Hi Sue,
No. I didn’t use butter with Bella.
I used dairy free “margarine”.
In Australia there is Nuttelex – or the one we used Becel – and I’m sure there are others. You have to read the ingredients on the pack to check cos the manufacturers are prone to changing the ingredients without notice.
This is a picture of the marg packet.

Thank you so much for this recipe. They really lived up to the hype – delicious. I will certainly be making them again. To be honest, i thought they were nicer than pancakes WITH dairy and egg.

These are FANTASTIC! I used vanilla soy milk to make them a bit sweeter and I happened to open a new container of soy milk at room temp and the mixing consistency was *perfect* I definitely agree with previous reader that these are better than pancakes with dairy and egg. Thanks for sharing looking forward to experimenting with chocolate chips, bananas, pumpkin, blueberries etc added to the mix

That’s a good idea using baking soda- I’ll have to try it! I normally use vegan egg replacer powder which works quite well. Also oat milk is a nice alternative to soya milk, as it has a slightly thicker texture. See http://www.dairyfreeme.com/features/dairy-free-pancakes
