Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it out slightly with the back of the spoon to form a round shape. Cook 2-3 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
