Quick & Easy Pancakes

Use your favorite pancake or waffle mix, but substitute dairy-free milk beverage (or even water) for the liquid. If the directions call for eggs, use my guide on How to Substitute Eggs. Most of the options will work well with pancakes. In fact, if the mix is wheat-based, you might be able to simply add more liquid and omit the eggs.

Some good dairy-free pancake and waffle mixes include Cherrybrook Kitchen, Madhava Organic, and Bisquick. If you opt for store-bought waffles, Van’s and Nature’s Path offer tasty frozen options.
