My enjoyment of the pancake started early on. I love them in every form with all sorts of toppings. This said I also like trying to make every kind out there. So the other week when I wanted a pancake but didn’t want to use an egg I thought I would try a substitute in them and this was the result. They were tasty and if you don’t go by looks they are a great pancake.
There are so many ways you can substitute an egg:
Applesauce
Mashed Banana
Ground Flax or Chia seeds ( one of my favorites)
Tofu
The list can go on but the one that I have never tried until now was,
1 1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil mixed with 1 1/2 Tablespoon water and 1 Teaspoon baking powder.
If you don’t have an egg or maybe you don’t eat them you may want to try this basic easy pancake recipe.
Pancake:
1 1/2 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoon of baking powder ( when substituting for an egg use 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder)
Pinch of Sea Salt
1 Tablespoon of Sugar
1 1/14 Cup of Almond or Soy Milk
1/4 Cup of oil (when substituting for the egg add 1 1/2 Tablespoon)
1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
1 egg or a substitute
1 1/2 Tablespoon of water but only when using the egg substitute
In a bowl mix dry ingredients then add most ingredients stir together. I have found the better pancakes are the ones that are not over mixed. Pour desired amount onto hot pan or griddle. When pancake starts to bubble flip, finish cooking on other side. Place cooked pancake on plate top with your favorite toppings.
