Ingredients You’ll Need

These eggy garlic pancakes come together with super simple ingredients. Here’s what you need:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (swap with gluten-free flour if needed)
• 2 large eggs (plus one for topping, if you feel fancy)
• 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
• 1 tsp baking powder – helps create that light, fluffy texture
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil for depth
• Optional: chives, shredded cheese, hot sauce, sour cream

How to Make Easy Garlic Egg Pancakes

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth.
2. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined (don’t over-mix!).
3. Stir in minced garlic, olive oil or butter, and any optional mix-ins.
4. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Use 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
5. Cook on one side 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes on the other.
6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings—fried egg, salsa, yogurt, or extra chives.

Tips for the Best Garlic Egg Pancakes

• Make it crispy: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the skillet before pouring the batter for a golden crust.
• Don’t burn the garlic: Make sure it’s finely minced and mixed right into the batter—no sautéing required.
• Keep it fluffy: Use fresh baking powder and don’t over-mix the batter.

Serving Ideas

These pancakes are the ultimate in *built-in flavor*, but toppings can take them to the next level. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Fried or poached egg on top
• Dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Sprinkle of crispy bacon bits or smoked salmon
• Dash of hot sauce or drizzle of honey-chili oil
• Extra chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro

Optional Substitutions

• Gluten-Free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill.
• Dairy-Free? Swap milk with oat milk or almond milk, and use oil instead of butter.
• Vegan? Replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant milk only. Just note: texture may vary.

Optional FAQ: Pancake Edition

Can I use roasted garlic instead of raw?

Totally! Roasted garlic adds a sweeter, caramelized flavor that’s absolutely delicious. Just mash it up before adding it to the batter.

Are these pancakes spicy?

Not by default, but you can absolutely turn up the heat with chili flakes or hot sauce.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes! You can refrigerate the batter overnight. Just stir gently the next day before cooking—do not whisk too much.

What’s the best way to make them extra crispy?

Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, and cook in a small amount of oil over medium heat. Don’t crowd the pan!
