Who needs a simple pancake recipe for Pancake Day?

Please tell me you love pancakes as much as I do! ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜€ ?

You do know that next week is Pancake Day right? or Shrove Tuesday? Yay… any excuse to eat pancakes – not that you really need an excuse, but just in case you do!ย 

We have them for breakfast or brunch mostly, thin pancakes, or thick pancakes, with fruit, maple syrup, nut butters, chocolate sauce, or just with lemon & sugar!

We already have eight pancake recipes on the blog, a few of which I will link below, but we’ve just discovered a very very simple recipe… simpler than our already simple pancake recipes! These are eggless pancakes using just flour, milk and baking powder! Yay… store-cupboard ingredients – no shopping trip required! Okay, so I have added some linseeds in the recipe, but you really don’t have to! ๐Ÿ˜€ So now you can have pancakes any time you like! ๐Ÿ˜€

Let’s have a look at those other recipes:

Bursting Blueberry Pancakes

Topped Pancakes

Fairtrade Pancakes

We don’t have a favourite recipe and often we just throw the ingredients together and adjust as we go along, but the above recipes are used when someone else wants to make them! hint hint! ๐Ÿ˜› I’m sharing these pancakes over at Fiesta Friday this week where I am co-hosting again, this time with Kat @ Katโ€™s 9 Lifes. You really should make your way over and join us! ๐Ÿ˜€ Anyway, this super quick and easy recipe…

 

Pancakes

Quick and easy, egg-free pancake recipe.

Created by:: Laurena @LifeDietHealth
Gather
  • 200 g plain flour gluten free if required
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground linseeds
  • 400 ml milk we used unsweetened carton coconut
Prepare
  1. Throw everything in a blender jug and blend until evenly combined.

  2. Smear a smidge of oil on a non-stick pan and heat until hot.

  3. Pour some of the batter in the pan and swirl around gently to get a round shape.

  4. Allow to cook until bubbles form (don’t be tempted to press the pancake down). Flip over and allow to cook on the other side (the second side needs less time).

  5. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  6. Either eat as they are cooked, or stack on a plate in the oven (on a low heat) until ready to serve.

  7. Add your toppings and enjoy!

Tips & Storage
  • If you don’t have linseeds, you can use ground chia instead, or just omit them completely (the batter will just be a bit thinner).
  • The batter will thicken on standing.
  • Make flavoured pancakes by adding a dash of spice or essence – try cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, coffee or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder.ย 
  • Pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to three days then reheated in a pan or the toaster.
  • Eat them one-by-one or create a pancake stack.
  • Layer with fruits, nut butters, jams, yogurt, cream, even ice-cream!
  • Drizzle with chocolate, syrups, compote or cream.
  • Sprinkle with extra fruits, nuts or chocolate.

    Can’t beat good old lemon and sugar?It sounds awful but I’ve ‘banned’ hubby from keeping Nutella in the house- I’ve suggested he try healthier versions of chocolate and hazelnut spread but he doesn’t want to know lol. Have a great weekend (oh, and I’m still looking into clinical aromatherapy courses)?

      My son is with you on the lemon & sugar! (more sugar than lemon though I think)!!! Ooo, I should post my notella recipe – maybe he would eat that! ๐Ÿ˜€ Are you making pancakes on Tuesday? Ooo, well done on the courses – I’m waiting to find out what you decide!? ๐Ÿ˜€

    Didn’t realize it was going to be Pancake Day next Tuesday. I really like all the banana slices and blueberries alongside. I’ve never tried lemon and sugar on pancakes… I could see the lemon but pancakes already are cooked with sugar (indeed, while I love the flavor of maple syrup, I like just the lightest drizzle, just for the flavor, not for the sugar…)

      Pancake Day crept up so quickly on us too! You’ve never had lemon and sugar on pancakes? Oh my! Maybe that’s a traditional British thing? We were brought up on pancakes with lemon and sugar – there were no other options! Oh, apart from mushrooms and cheese?!? Yes, I’m like that with the maple – just for the taste (have you tried maple sugar?) I usually just have almond butter and bananas on mine ๐Ÿ™‚

    I had great plans to make some Goan pancakes yesterday, but time and feeling sluggish got the better of me. I do love that stack though, full of fresh fruit. Have you changed your format? I was a bit confused, then I realized it was you ๐Ÿ™‚ Nice.

    • Laurena@LifeDietHealth 6th March 2019 at 16:33

      Hello Loretta ๐Ÿ™‚ Yes, I’m gradually changing my format – when I make time! ๐Ÿ™‚ Goan pancakes sound yummy – they have a coconut filling right? We had pancakes for breakfast yesterday and after dinner too (I thought I’d get away just with the breakfast ones)! Pancake stacks with fruit are one of my favourites… usually with hidden almond butter, chocolate and maple syrup! Lovely to see you over here again. x

    They look beautiful, Laurena! Almost like a layered cake ๐Ÿ™‚ What are linseeds exactly? Are they like flaxseeds? A substitute for eggs? Too many questions! Lol. Thanks for cohosting and for staying on another week! XOXO

      Thanks Angie and you’re welcome!?Oops, yes, linseeds and flaxseeds are one and the same, like courgettes are zucchini amd aubergine is eggplant!??We use several things for an egg replacer and ‘flax’seeds work brilliantly (as does banana in baked goods). See you at the next Fiesta! x

    Pancakes are so versatile. It’s great to see they work out without eggs.

      Thanks, Yes, I would never have thought of that! All those wasted times we could have made them but didn’t! ๐Ÿ˜›
