Wondering if Bisquick products are vegan?
You’re in the right place!
In this article, we’ll explore which Bisquick products are vegan and which ones are not.
We’ll also show you how to replace milk and eggs when you’re making them!
Let’s get to it…
Is Bisquick Vegan?
Some Bisquick products are indeed Vegan, however there are variations of it that definitely aren’t.
For example, they have a Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle Mix which contains both milk and eggs placing it in the non-vegan category. Also, given that the instructions may call for eggs or milk, you’ll have to make some easy vegan substitutes when using Bisquick. We’ve compiled the vegan products and the non-vegan products below!

Here’s an example of what a vegan ingredient statement of Bisquick looks like compared to a non-vegan one.
Vegan Ingredient Statement (original Bisquick)

How Do I Replace Eggs and Milk in Biquick?
Milk: Milk should be an easier replacement given that there are plenty of plant based milks on the market. Given that soy milk has the highest protein content (most similar to dairy milk) it is the go-to replacement. However, almond and coconut milk will also work great for pancakes.
Eggs: While there are many egg replacers on the market that will work, making a flax egg is going to be the cheapest option. To make 1 flax egg, simply combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons of water, mix thoroughly, and let is rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. You’ll also get other benefits from using a flax egg in your pancakes, including more fiber!
Final Word on Bisquick and Other Products
When it comes to a non-whole food with many minor ingredients, it is nearly impossible to trace whether some of them may be animal derived such as Folic Acid. That being said, they are such low percentage the harm to animals from consuming them in these products is virtually nil. If you’re transitioning to veganism, we highly recommend to not overthink these things – just avoid foods blatantly labeled with animal products.
