Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Ground flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they are finely ground into oat flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground oats, ground flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar (if using).
Transfer the pancake mix to an airtight container or a resealable bag. Label the container with instructions for preparing the batter when ready to cook.
To make pancakes, combine 1 cup of the pancake mix with 3/4 cup of milk (or a milk alternative), 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil in a medium bowl. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or yogurt.
