These fluffy, butter-free pancakes are absolutely delicious and make the perfect choice for breakfast or brunch. If you’re looking for a recipe to enjoy pancakes without butter, this one is a must-try!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or your preferred oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. It’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look firm, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
