This is the kind of recipe that reminds you breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious — no eggs, no dairy, no fuss. Just a few ingredients, one bowl, and a hot griddle.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Only Three Ingredients: Bisquick, Sprite, and water — that’s it.
- Naturally Vegan: No eggs or milk needed; the carbonation gives the lift.
- Fluffy and Light: Sprite’s bubbles help create that perfect pancake texture.
- Fast & Fail-Proof: Mix, pour, flip — breakfast in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- Bisquick mix – and yes, Bisquick mix is accidentally vegan!
- Sprite (or ginger ale)
- cup water
- Vegan butter for cooking – or dairy butter if you are not vegan
Instructions
Preheat the Griddle:
Heat your griddle to 350°F. Add a small pat of vegan butter to melt and coat the surface.
Mix the Batter:
In a medium bowl combine Bisquick, Sprite, and water. Gently stir just until the dry mix is moistened — don’t over-mix or the bubbles will disappear.
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and small bubbles form on top (about 3 minutes). Peek underneath — if golden brown, flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy:
Stack, drizzle, and dig in while warm.
Pro Tips
- Don’t Overmix: The carbonation is your leavening — stir lightly to keep the bubbles alive.
- Measure your four correctly: For the lightest fluffy pancakes, measure your flour correctly. Don’t just cram the measuring cup into the Bisquick or you will end up using too much. Sprinkle the Bisquick into a measuring cup and level the top gently by cutting with a knife and swiping away the excess.
- Choose Your Soda: Sprite adds a light citrus note, while ginger ale gives subtle spice.
- For Extra Crisp Edges: Brush a little melted vegan butter around each pancake before flipping.
- Serve Fast: These are best right off the griddle when they’re still cloud-soft.
Serving Ideas
- Top with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
- Add vegan whipped cream for an easy brunch upgrade.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar for a diner-style touch.
- Pair with tofu scramble or tempeh bacon for a full breakfast plate.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a toaster or oven, but they’re best fresh — the bubbles work their magic right off the griddle.
Can I use sparkling water instead of Sprite?
Yes, but they’ll be less sweet. Add a teaspoon of sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup to the batter.
The Bottom Line
These Bisquick Sprite Pancakes are proof that simple can still be spectacular — vegan, no-fail, and ready before your coffee even cools.

Bisquick Sprite Pancakes, Vegan
Equipment
- griddle
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups Bisquick mix
- ½ cup sprite or ginger ale
- ½ cup water
- vegan butter for cooking
Instructions
- Heat the griddle to 350℉. Measure out the Bisquick mix into a medium-sized bowl. Add the sprite and water. Gently stir.
- Once the griddle has heated up, melt a small amount of vegan butter on the griddle. Portion out one-fourth cup of the prepared mixture onto the griddle. Depending on the size of your griddle, you can get up to six pancakes on each batch.
- Allow to cook until the edges look a little dry and bubbles have formed on the top of the pancakes. This will take about three minutes. You can take a peek to see if the bottom of the pancake is nice and brown. Use a pancake turner to flip each pancake and cook for another couple of minutes until both sides are as done as you'd like.
