Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form and the edges appear set.
Flip the pancake and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional maple syrup, walnuts, or fresh fruits if desired.
