Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 tablespoon additional butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flaxseed to absorb some liquid and thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly coat it with additional butter or oil.
Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour batter onto the skillet to form each flapjack. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the flapjacks for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked flapjacks to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
