    The Best Dairy-Free Pancake & Waffle Mixes

    Of course, most of the pancake mixes in this guide are fabulous. But we thought it would help to share our top picks by category to get you started!

    Complete Dairy-Free Pancake & Waffle Mixes (just add water)

    It doesn’t get much easier than this! These mixes have just add water directions. They don’t call for any eggs, oil, milk, or other ingredients to prepare. Some are gluten-free, as noted. These are all vegan-friendly, unless otherwise noted.

    Classic Dairy-Free Pancake & Waffle Mixes

    These traditional-style pancake and waffle mixes can be readily found in grocery stores and online. They are all made without dairy, but with wheat flour, and have classic “add oil, egg, and water (or milk)” directions. If they call for milk in the preparation, you can substitute water or dairy-free milk alternative. If they call for butter, you can substitute dairy-free butter alternative or oil.

    Egg Note: Yes, eggs are dairy free! But there are egg-free options, too. See our vegan pancake mixes , complete pancake mixes, and substitutes if you want to make the above mixes without egg.

    Dairy-Free & Egg-Free Substitutions for Pancake & Waffle Mixes

    Even if a mix is dairy-free by ingredients, it might still call for milk or butter in the preparation instructions. Fortunately, dairy-free substitutions for pancake mixes are pretty easy and straightforward. If your mix calls for any dairy, you can use the following as a quick guide.

    • Butter: Substitute dairy-free buttery sticks or oil.
    • Milk: Substitute dairy-free milk alternative or water.
    • Specialty Dairy – If your mix calls for something like yogurt or sour cream, you can use a dairy-free substitute product, or another moist ingredient like applesauce, pumpkin, or banana might work fine.

    Many of the mixes above do call for egg. As noted, eggs are not dairy. However, I do like to make sure my egg-free and vegan friends are covered! See our Egg Substitute Guide for options. Most will work fine in pancakes, each producing a slightly different texture or taste.
