Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Flax seed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter or oil
- 1 as needed Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, flax seed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter may have a few lumps, which is fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or nut butter.
