One of you asked for vegetarian-friendly, eggless cake recipes. While this isn’t a cake recipe, it is an eggless pancake recipe — a great place to start. These healthier pancakes are perfect if you want to enjoy pancakes without eggs.
I made these two weeks ago to celebrate Pancake Day. I couldn’t resist marking the occasion. The pancakes ended up eggless because, after searching my fridge, I realized I had no eggs left. So I improvised.
A quick online search showed that eggless pancakes are common, so I gathered whole wheat flour, baking powder, coconut oil, honey, coconut milk, water and salt. I mixed everything into a smooth batter.
I heated a skillet over medium heat, lightly oiled it, then poured the batter and spread it into pancake shapes.
I repeated the process until I had six decently sized pancakes. Some were a little imperfect in shape, but they cooked up nicely.
I served the pancakes with real maple syrup. They turned out surprisingly fluffy, sweet, and delicious. I’m not always a fan of whole wheat flour, but I enjoy it in pancakes and waffles. If you want a healthier breakfast, are looking for eggless options, or simply want to try something new, this recipe is for you.
