Who says you need eggs to make fluffy pancakes? These egg-free pancakes prove that you can achieve a light and airy texture without eggs. With a golden brown exterior and tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior, these pancakes are sure to impress.

Whether you’re out of eggs or just looking for an egg-free option, this recipe is here to save the day. The secret ingredient for achieving that perfect fluffiness? Apple cider vinegar. This simple addition helps create a light and airy texture that rivals any traditional pancake recipe.

Why This Recipe Works

• Simple Ingredients: A few common ingredients work together to create perfectly fluffy pancakes without the need for eggs.
• Easy Preparation: With just 5 minutes of prep and a short cooking time, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast in no time.
• Perfect Fluffiness: The combination of apple cider vinegar and baking powder/soda ensures light and fluffy pancakes.

Key Ingredient: Apple Cider Vinegar

In egg-free pancake recipes, apple cider vinegar serves as a key ingredient to replace eggs. It interacts with baking powder and baking soda to create a fluffy texture.

• Apple Cider Vinegar vs. White Vinegar: Both can be used in baking, but apple cider vinegar is preferred for its milder, sweeter flavor. White vinegar is stronger and more acidic, but both work well for the chemical reactions needed in baking.

How to Make Egg-Free Pancakes

Making these pancakes is simple and involves just a few steps:

1. Prepare the Vinegar Mixture: Mix apple cider vinegar with milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the desired fluffiness.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: While the vinegar mixture activates, combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the vinegar mixture to the dry ingredients, along with any additional wet ingredients like vanilla extract and oil. Stir until just combined—it’s okay if there are some lumps.
4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, lightly greased. Pour in the batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Ingredients

• Dairy or Dairy-Free Milk: Your choice of milk works, whether dairy or plant-based.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: 2 tsp to help create fluffiness.
• Vanilla Extract (Optional): For added flavor.
• Oil: 2 tsp of your choice. I used organic canola oil.
• All-Purpose Flour: You can substitute with spelt flour.
• Salt: 1/4 tsp.
• Baking Powder & Baking Soda: For leavening.
• Sugar: 1/2 tbsp, to lightly sweeten the batter.
