These pancakes are so good that they quickly became our #1 pancake recipe in the house. They’re soft, fluffy, and the perfect start to any morning.

And while you’re at it, why not pair your pancakes with a batch of crispy bacon? I’ve got a foolproof method for how to cook bacon in the oven, so it comes out perfectly crispy every time.

If you’re craving something a little different, try my No Butter Waffle Recipe! Just as crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these waffles are a fantastic alternative to pancakes and will satisfy any waffle lover in your house.

And if you’re in the mood for a complete breakfast spread, try adding some homemade sausage on the side. Making Homemade Breakfast Sausage is simpler than you think and will have your whole family asking for more. These pancakes, bacon, and sausage? The ultimate breakfast combo!

No Butter Pancakes Recipe

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup milk or almond milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Dairy Free Pancakes

If you want to make these pancakes dairy free or vegan, that’s easy.  Just substitute the milk for almond milk or oat milk and you’re all set! 

Vegan Pancakes

If you want to make these pancakes vegan, that’s easy too.  Instead of using 1 egg, use 1/4 cup applesauce.  

How to Make Pancakes With No Butter

Instead of butter we’re going to use 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 cup milk for the liquid ingredients.  Even with no butter, these pancakes are going to be extra fluffy and moist!

First you’ll want to mix your dry ingredients together…like the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon!

Now add your wet ingredients to the bowl, the milk, eggs, oil and vanilla!  Don’t you love how you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen? 

Using a pan on the stovetop, or a electric griddle (my new favorite breakfast cooker!), heat the batter over medium high heat for a few minutes, making sure to brown both sides of the pancakes! Breakfast is ready!

Hope this No Butter Pancake recipe helps you if you’re all out of butter too!  It might just become your new favorite pancake recipe!

And if you really love them, try making a double or triple batch to freeze! You’ll just need to throw them in a freezer bag to freeze.   Then you’ll microwave them just like you do for any store bought frozen pancakes.  Except these ones are so much better than store bought pancakes because they’re homemade!

Enjoy the pancakes everyone!
