How to Make Butter-Free Pancakes
Put all the ingredients into a blender or an immersion blend cup (liquids first, then solids). Blend for a few seconds until you get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter. Cook over medium heat until bubbles start forming on the surface. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 30-40 seconds.
For more delicious pancakes, add chocolate chips after pouring the batter into the pan.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and garnish them with maple syrup, honey, hazelnut cream, or fresh fruit.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve the ideal consistency.
For a lighter version, use plant-based milk and replace sugar with honey or agave syrup.
Want more flavor? Add a pinch of vanilla or cinnamon to the batter!
FAQ – Quick Pancakes
Can I prepare pancakes in advance?
Yes! You can store them in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze them separated by parchment paper. Heat them in a pan or microwave before serving.
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Sure! You will get pancakes with a more rustic flavor, but I recommend adding a bit more milk as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
Why aren’t my pancakes fluffy?
Batter too runny → Add a bit of flour.
Pan temperature too high → Pancakes burn outside and remain raw inside. Cook them over medium-low heat.
Expired baking powder → Check the expiration date!Can I make pancakes without eggs?
Yes! Replace the egg with half a mashed banana or 1 tablespoon of yogurt for a soft and tasty alternative.
