Pillowy soft and super easy to make, these homemade fluffy vegan pancakes are delicious now or can be frozen for later — just heat and eat!
Who says you need eggs to make a delicious stack of pancakes? With just one bowl, and ingredients you most likely have at home, these easy fluffy vegan pancakes are a winner for any picky eater and adults alike! I know, because my house contains many of these people.
Pancakes were one of the first foods I learned to cook. Needless to say I have had many years to improve and perfect them. Then a curveball came along… let’s call that curveball ‘kids with many food allergies.’ In order to accommodate their food allergies (including, yes, eggs and nuts) I managed to find new ways to get back to ordinary.
Ordinary comes as the form of egg free, peanut free and tree nut free foods. Enter, these delicious fluffy vegan pancakes. Easy enough for a kid to make, but still a special kind of homemade breakfast.
These fluffy vegan pancakes are slightly sweet, so they can be enjoyed plain. They are also amazing topped with butter, maple syrup and [vegan or dairy free] whipped cream.
Speaking as a non-vegan eater, even if you are not following a vegan diet, these are the perfect pancakes to make period… or say if you run out eggs. Whip these up for breakfast or weekend brunch!
Using simple ingredients, this recipe creates a tender and airy bite! Seriously, the best pancakes.
The process- what to look for when making fluffy vegan pancakes
-Cook pancakes over medium heat until you see bubbles; use spatula or flipping tool to gently lift and check the color on the other side. If it is nice and golden go ahead and flip! Try not to flip pancakes too many times. It takes away from the soft texture.
-Place cooked pancakes on a wire rack to cool or serve immediately. Placing them on a wire rack means you won’t get those soggy pancakes from the steam accumulation.
Things that helped in the kitchen for this recipe, and can help you too:
Glass mixing bowl set – I love how versatile these bowls are and super easy to clean!
Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup – an absolute staple in the kitchen (amazon or HomeGoods)
Wire Rack – for cooling, baking and roasting; this size is great for the USA half sheet pan, making it an excellent choice for Pullman pan bread loaves. (Amazon or HomeGoods)

One bowl Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup soy milk *may use dairy milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil *or other neutral flavored oil
- *optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- To the same bowl, pour in wet ingredients: soy milk, water, and oil (and vanilla extract if using.)
- Thoroughly whisk JUST until all ingredients are fully combined. Small lumps in batter are okay. Be careful not to over mix the batter, which can lead to tough, dense pancakes and a reduction in rise.
- Heat non-stick pan or griddle to medium-low, and once hot, ladle pancake batter into the pan according to desired size and shape. *grease the pan prior to cooking if using other not non-stick bakeware.
- Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, usually 1-2 minutes. Peek with spatula to see when the side to the pan is golden.
- Flip pancakes and continuing cooking an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat cooking process with remaining batter. As you cook, place cooked pancakes on wire rack to cool, or serve immediately.
Notes
- Recipe can be doubled easily and frozen for later use. To freeze, allow cooked pancakes to cool on wire rack. Once cooled, seal in plastic zip top bag or plastic wrap. To reheat, take 1-2 pancakes out of the freezer at a time and put on microwave safe plate, microwave for 20-30 seconds. voila!
- *May use dairy milk or non-dairy milk alternative. Best results are with soy milk for me.
- *other neutral oil can include canola, vegetable, grape-seed etc.
