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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, flax seed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or nut butter.
