WHAT TO EAT WITH PANCAKES

Since these pancakes are pretty much just flour, sugar, and water...I like to add a little more sustenance to the meal. 

These pancakes pair perfectly with our favorite sausage links. And they only take seconds in the microwave. 

You could also do sides of bacon or ham with these pancakes, as well. 

If you're not allergic to eggs, consider adding some scrambled eggs for even more protein. 

And a little fruit rounds out our pancake breakfast plates just right, we love berries with these pancakes. 

Bananas are an easy fruit option, too.

BASIC PANCAKE RECIPE

NOTES

Serves 4

Here's our favorite dairy-free butter for topping these pancakes.

Here's a dairy-free whipped cream if you really want to go all out.

And here's our favorite cast iron griddle (affiliate) for cooking pancakes on the stove.

INGREDIENTS

2-½ cups white flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2-½ cups water
5 tablespoon melted coconut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl:

2-½ cups white flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoons salt

Combine the wet ingredients in a medium bowl:

2-½ cups water
5 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Incorporate all the ingredients together with a large spoon, just until moist.

Don't over mix.

Let the mix sit for five minutes, to thicken up a bit. 

Preheat a pancake griddle on the stove at medium heat. 

Grease griddle with dairy-free butter. 

Pour batter onto griddle using a ¼ cup measuring cup to make 3-4" pancakes.

When the pancakes start to bubble and steam, check the bottoms.

When the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown, flip them with a spatula.

Cook the second side of the pancakes until they are golden brown, as well.

Take off the griddle when both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.

Serve hot topped with your favorite dairy-free butter, syrup, berries, dairy-free whipped cream, etc.

Hope you love these simple dairy-free and egg-free pancakes as much as we do!

  1. I’ve made this countless times for my toddler that has a super restricted diet (no dairy, eggs, gluten, sugar, and more). I omitted the sugar and cut this recipe down to 1/4 because I was just making small ones for her and she loved it. Also used bob’s gluten free flour and turned out fine. Thanks for sharing!

  2. I made these pancakes this morning. I had some whole wheat flour I wanted to use up so I used it for this receipe and they turned out delicious. The other thing I had to change was the sugar because I didn't have regular I used 3 packets of stevia, They came out a little crunchy on the edges which I really liked. I have always had trouble making pancakes because I would over cook them because it took to long to get the bubbles. These turned out perfect.

    1. @Henrietta, I work out 3-4 times a week and I like to have some kind of protein in my breakfast and I would like to know how I can add Lactose free cottage cheese to this receipe?
