These Fluffy Vanilla Pikelets are just that. Fluffy, taste of vanilla and pikelets!
Pikelets and pancakes are very popular in our house. the boys love them. What I love about them is they are so easy to make, make plenty and can be frozen for the lunchbox.
These are so soft and fluffy and have a delicious hint of vanilla in them. I use Chef’s Choice Alcohol Free VanillaExtract in these and it gives them a beautiful vanilla flavour. You can of course use vanilla of your choice.
My other recipes:

- Cinnamon Oat Pancakes

- Nutella Pancakes
- Orange Poppyseed Pikelets
- Oven Pancake Bites with Honey and Cinnamon
- Pancake Dippers
These can be made very quickly using a bowl and spoon. Follow the same instructions as the below recipe card however instead of using a processor simply mix with a wooden spoon.

My son’s comment (with my consensus): “These are the best pikelets ever!” Thanks, Peta, these are delicious – so flight and fluffy. The vanilla makes them amazing. Warning: the raw batter is a bit addictive 🙂

Yum!!! Best pikelets I’ve ever tasted! I may or may not of added choc chips to half the batter (and then eaten one warm).

Yep these are amazing! Best fluffiness pikelets ever! I used buttermilk instead of normal milk as I was originally making the orange and poppyseed ones, but my oranges were a bit old! Lol glad I made these!

OMG! These are totally AMAZING! And this is coming from someone who generally cannot make pikelets or pancakes (I’m not sure why… they just always fail lol). These turned out absolutely perfect. I even made a batch that are gluten free and dairy free (using white wings GF SR Flour, Almond milk and Nuttelex) so my little ones friends that have allergies/intolerances could enjoy them too. They were STILL amazing! Thank you for the great recipe 🙂 🙂 🙂
