Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Then add milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, nut butter, or a sprinkle of flaxseed meal for garnish.
