A common pancake ratio is 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1 egg. Most recipes also add 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, and about 1 teaspoon baking powder. This ratio makes light, fluffy pancakes that are easy to adjust.
Yes, you can replace the egg with mashed banana, applesauce, or a flaxseed mixture. About 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water works well. The texture will be slightly softer but still tasty.
