Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix skim milk, egg substitute, honey, and vegetable oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look cooked, then turn with a spatula.
- Serve warm, yielding about 28 pancakes, approximately 92 calories each.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can substitute the egg substitute with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1/2 mashed banana for a natural sweetness. If you prefer whole-grain pancakes, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Adjust the honey based on your sweetness preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these honey pancakes warm with a drizzle of extra honey or maple syrup. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas. For a delightful twist, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts. Enjoy them alongside a side of crispy bacon or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole milk instead of skim milk?
Yes, you can use whole milk if you prefer a richer flavor and texture in your pancakes. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the calorie count and make them a bit denser.
How can I make these pancakes gluten-free?
To make these pancakes gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free, and adjust the liquid as needed to achieve the desired batter consistency.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just stir it gently before cooking, as some separation may occur. However, for the best results, it's recommended to cook the batter fresh.
