Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
