ito 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 Sweet Potato Pancake or Mga Pancake na may Sanggol na Kalabasa.

Pikelet Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tasa Harinang Kusang Tumataas - (tala 1)
- ¾ tasa Gatas na Batay sa Halaman - almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Langis - pick a low flavor oil like light olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil
Opsyonal para sa mga lasa
- 2 tablespoons Hindi Pinong Cane Sugar
- 1 kutsarita Vanilla Extract
- ¼ kutsarita kanela
tagubilin
- 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.

Ingredients at Substitutions
- Harinang Kusang Tumataas – 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 converter na walang gluten, pero huwag kalimutan ang baking powder.
- Gatas na Batay sa Halaman – Almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk work well. Oat milk is another great option for a neutral flavor.
- Langis – Choose a neutral-flavored oil. Light olive oil or melted coconut oil can be used as alternatives.
- Asukal – Use white granulated sugar for a classic taste. Coconut sugar can be substituted for a refined-sugar-free alternative.
- Vanilla Extract – Gumamit ng purong vanilla extract para sa pinakamasarap na lasa.
- kanela – Choose ground cinnamon. Other warm spices like nutmeg or allspice can be used for variation.

Stir the batter with a hand held whisk until smooth.
Mga Tip ni Carine
- 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.
Would these work with almond flour please?
Hindi, hindi sila kailanman magiging matatag.

Salamat!
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.
Salamat sa magandang review na ito!
Do you have a gluten free version
Gamitin ang aking gabay sa pagpapalit na walang gluten para gawing gluten-free lahat ng recipe ko.
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.
Salamat!
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!!
