Can you make pancakes without any milk?

This is a question that comes up quite a lot. Can you actually make good pancakes without any kind of milk? The answer I have is yes, you can! In fact, it is quite easy to make pancakes without any milk and I will show you how to do so in this easy recipe. 

Homemade pancakes without milk

If you’re here from this post I wrote about the best alternatives for milk in pancakes, then you’re likely very interested to know how to make pancakes without any type of milk.

This recipe, which is super easy and yields some fluffy, golden pancakes will show you how you can make no milk pancakes from scratch!

Since no milk is being used in this recipe, I’ve employed two important techniques to make the pancakes flavorful and fluffy.

The first is to add more baking powder than usual. For each cup of flour, most pancake recipes typically add a teaspoon of baking powder. If you want your pancakes to be even more fluffy, as in this recipe, you must add one and a half teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour.

The second technique I used to make the pancakes fluffy and moist is to beat the egg whites until stiff and incorporate them into the mixture in an enveloping way so that the pancakes have more volume.

Also, the type of flour used here is important. I used blanched almond flour, but I can also recommend using a softer flour like all-purpose or even cake flour for this recipe to obtain softer textured pancakes.

Ingredients for no milk pancakes

Flour – Almond flour is used here. However, all-purpose flour which is cheaper and easier to come by is a good option at a 1:1 ratio. Also, feel free to use cake flour at a 1:1 ratio. Also, see more flour substitutes that can work for pancakes here.

Eggs- Needed to help bind all the pancake ingredients together.

Butter- Adds more flavor to the pancakes. 

Baking powder – Helps the pancake batter form bubbles which help them to become fluffy and airy.

Stevia – This is a type of sweetener that works for special diets like keto or low carb. So, if you’d like, you can use other types of sweeteners like regular sugar, erythritol, or even agave nectar. 

How to make pancakes without milk 

Gather all the ingredients for the pancakes in one place. 

Then, separate the egg whites from the yolk. Next, beat the egg whites until stiff. Reserve the whites for a few minutes while preparing the rest of the pancake batter.

In a separate bowl, place the egg yolks, and the melted butter and mix them for a couple of minutes until they are perfectly integrated.

In a third bowl, sift the flour, with the baking powder and a little sweetener. If you want your pancakes to be more savory, don’t add the sweetener.

Integrate the flour, with the butter and egg yolk mixture. Whisk until smooth.

Lastly, add the egg whites in an enveloping way. Stir with a wooden or plastic spoon very gently. The idea is that the mixture is completely spongy.

Put a little oil spray on a nonstick skillet and heat the stove over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, put ¼ of the pancake mix in the hot skillet and cook covered for a couple of minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat this process until the pancake batter is finished. 

Serve alone topped with sour cream or melted butter. Or, serve a full breakfast with eggs and bacon! Enjoy!
