What Can I Use to Replace Eggs in Pancakes?

Baking soda and white vinegar are two common ingredients that can be used to replace eggs in pancakes.

Baking soda and white vinegar work as a leavening agent in pancakes, helping them to rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture. They also help to bind the pancake batter together, making it more elastic and less likely to fall apart when cooked.

You can also use applesauce or mashed banana instead of eggs for a denser consistency if desired! I have made pancakes with the traditional flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) but this version with the vinegar makes them so much fluffier!

How to Get Fluffy Vegan Pancakes

Fluffy vegan pancakes are easy to make, but if you want the fluffiest pancakes possible you need the right ingredients – including a leavening agent. In this case, baking soda and vinegar are your friends because they help create air bubbles in the batter which will result in fluffy pancakes.

Nutritional Benefits of Flax

I still add a bit of ground flax to this recipe for the added nutritional benefits, though!

Flaxseeds are a rich source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber is important for bowel regularity and gut health, as well as reducing the risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses. In addition, flaxseeds contain high levels of lignans (PHytoestrogens) – a type of phytonutrient that can offer some protection against breast cancer and other hormone-sensitive cancers. Flaxseeds are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin E.

If you are wanting to spruce up these pancakes, even more, feel free to add blueberries, bananas or chocolate chips. Let me know how they turn out!

  • Add the softened butter and press into the flour with your finger tips, using a snapping technique, until there are no more visible pieces of butter and the flour has turned into coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk in the milk and vinegar until just combined (Batter should pour easily but not runny). Whisk in a splash of milk, if batter looks too thick. Be sure to not over mix!
  • Heat a non-stick skillets over medium heat. Add 1 tsp butter before adding batter.
  • Ladle about 1/3 cup batter into the skillet, spreading into a circle (don’t spread too much)

To make vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and milk with your favorite plant-based alternative!
