Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or butter) for greasing
- Optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for 5-7 minutes to allow the flaxseed to thicken and absorb the liquid.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, pour the batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. Spread it gently into a circular shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and set in the center. Flip carefully as these pancakes are softer than traditional ones.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or yogurt.
