Ingredients
- 1 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey (if using).
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Step 5
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it out slightly with the back of the spoon to form a round shape. Cook 2-3 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 6
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
