    Pandan Pancakes. Delicious, easy to make and vegetarian! They take less than 30 minutes to make and are perfect for breakfast!

    My pandan pancakes recipe is very easy to whip up and it tastes delicious with the pandan flavour! They're also fluffy and light.

    These easy pandan pancakes pair nicely with some maple syrup and fresh fruit.

    I was introduced to it by my Malaysian mother-in-law who uses it in everything!  You can find it at most Asian grocers or on Amazon!  Just search Pandan Extract or click here to get it off amazon.

    I also share many other pandan recipes below so please check them out.

    How I learned about Pandan

    When I first met my husband's family who originates from Malaysia, I got to try these delicious Pandan Crepes! I will never forget the first time I tried them because they were soft, chewy and had that gorgeous pandan aroma.

    From that moment I was hooked and I had to make everything Pandan flavoured like these fluffy pandan pancakes. So look out, I'll be producing more recipes with this wonderful flavour!

    What is Pandan?

    Pandan is a herbaceous tropical plant that grows in Southeast Asia. It's a very fragrant plant thanks to it's vanilla and floral grass scent. The plant looks similar to a palm with vibrant green leaves that are long and pointy. The leaves are utilized for their delicious taste in many Thai and Southeast Asian Dishes. Pandan is usually sold as an extract, paste or powder to flavour treats.

    It's commonly used to flavour many Thai or Southeast Asian desserts, such as cakes, jellies and more. Sometimes the leaves are used to wrap sticky with as the flavour seeps into the sticky rice making it taste wonderful!

    Where can I buy Pandan Essence?

    You can usually buy it from most asian grocers on online. Just search online for "Pandan Leaf Essence" or Extract. I would not recommend using the powders unless you're familiar with using them.

    Pin for later!

      loved that these were fast and easy to whip up! they were also not sticky sweet like many other recipes, but rode on the fragrance of the pandan.

      I made quite a few changes -
      substituted the egg for 1 tbs flax
      no butter left so used coconut oil
      added a bit more baking soda to be safe
      used pandan infused coconut milk
      batter was a little thick so dripped some soy milk in before cooking

      Hi Christie, did you use full fat canned coconut milk?

        Hi Amy! Yes I used full fat. Just give it a thorough mix so the fat combines back with the liquid before you pour it into the batter.
