Dette Pikelet Recipe is an easy 3-ingredient version of the classic New Zealand Pikelets made with no eggs, and no dairy. It’s an allergy-friendly pikelet recipe for a school lunchbox or kids’ afternoon tea.
I discovered NZ Pikelets when my kids started going to daycare. It quickly became their favorite snack and I had to come up with my own dairy-free and egg-free pikelet recipe to share with the whole family. It’s a simple alternative to my Søtpotetpannekaker or Små gresskarpannekaker.

Pikelet Recipe
Ingredienser
- 1 cup Selvhevende mel - (merknad 1)
- ¾ cup Plantebasert melk - almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk
- 2 ss Olje - pick a low flavor oil like light olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil
Valgfritt for smaker
- 2 ss Uraffinert rørsukker
- 1 teskje Vaniljeekstrakt
- ¼ teskje Kanel
Instruksjoner
- In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, milk, oil, and any of the optional ingredients if used. Whisk until smooth and no lumps of flour can be seen.
- Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface with a cooking oil spray.
- Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of batter in the pan to form each pikelet. I usually cook 5 pikelets at once in a 26-cm pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until the edges dry out and tiny bubbles form in the center.
- Flip the pikelets and cook them for an extra minute until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat until the whole batter has been cooked. Make sure to lightly oil the pan before cooking another batch.
- Eat cold in lunchboxes or warm with jam and peanut butter.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
- Selvhevende mel – Use a good quality self-rising flour. If unavailable, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my glutenfri omformer, men ikke glem bakepulveret.
- Plantebasert melk – Almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk work well. Oat milk is another great option for a neutral flavor.
- Olje – Choose a neutral-flavored oil. Light olive oil or melted coconut oil can be used as alternatives.
- Sukker – Use white granulated sugar for a classic taste. Coconut sugar can be substituted for a refined-sugar-free alternative.
- Vaniljeekstrakt – Bruk ren vaniljeekstrakt for best smak.
- Kanel – Choose ground cinnamon. Other warm spices like nutmeg or allspice can be used for variation.
How to Make Pikelets
This is a super easy recipe to make, the batter is ready in minutes! Read the full printable recipe card further down. I’ve included a few pictures below to show the consistency of the batter.

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Stir the batter with a hand held whisk until smooth.
Carines tips
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier pikelets.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results.
- Keep the heat at medium-high. If the pan is too hot, the pikelets will brown too quickly without cooking through.
- For uniform pikelets, use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure to portion the batter.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Leave enough space between pikelets for easy flipping.
- Resist the urge to flip too early. Wait until bubbles form on the surface before turning.
- For flavor variations, try adding mashed banana, blueberries, or lemon zest to the batter.
- These pikelets freeze well. Layer them between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container for quick, easy snacks.

So easy ! I used Edmonds Gluten Free Flour and just added extra oil . Thanks so much
I am so happy it works so well with gluten-free flour!
I was surprised at how such a simple recipe makes such fluffy pikelets. This will definitely be my go-to. And I love that I could make pikelets even though I’d run out of eggs.
Thanks for this lovely review!

What’s the difference between these and pancakes
Pikelets are small pancakes, a bit denser, it’s a New Zealand recipe.
Great recipe, easy to make.
Takk skal du ha!
Loved it! Super quick and easy.
Would this work with almond flour?
No, sorry it won’t hold it’s shape
Este super delicios!
I made these this morning with Bob Mill’s 1 to 1 gluten free flour. I added baking powder like the recipe said since I wasn’t using self rising flour. I also added vanilla and cinnamon. So yummy!!! This will definitely be a weekly breakfast item!
Thank you so much Darci, glad to hear Bob’s Red Mill’s worked!!
