Flax Pancakes

Great recipe that’s easy for everyone to make. Gluten-free and dairy-free! Can also be easily modified to be sugar-free, egg-free.

These are great to make ahead and freeze for a busy morning.  Just let cool and store each pancake individually.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs or egg alternative*


  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)


  • 1 tsp vanilla


  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey (if using honey add 2 tbsp of additional flour)


  • 1 ¼ cups rice flour


  • 2 tsp baking powder


  • ½ tsp salt


  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil


  • Add cinnamon to taste


  • 1/3 cup ground flax seed

*If using ground flax seed as egg alternative, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed with equal parts very warm water and stir. Wait 2 minutes and add more warm water as needed. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to get to the consistency of raw egg.

Directions

  • In a medium bowl beat the eggs and milk.


  • Add the vanilla and the sugar or honey. Mix well.


  • In a separate bowl combine and blend the dry ingredients.  Add the dry ingredients and vegetable oil. Mix well.


  • On a preheated griddle (175 degrees) or Teflon coated frying pan, spoon the batter onto the hot surface.


  • When several bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, flip and make a small slit on the pancake.

Makes 14 pancakes.
