Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Flaxseed meal
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Then add milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, nut butter, or a sprinkle of flaxseed meal for garnish.
