Flaxjacks

Start your day with a wholesome twist by making Flaxjacks, a deliciously hearty take on classic pancakes infused with the goodness of ground flaxseed. These easy-to-make, nutrient-packed pancakes are entirely egg-free, thanks to a clever flaxseed and warm water mixture that adds a boost of omega-3s while keeping the recipe vegan-friendly if plant-based milk is used. The combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flours creates a perfectly balanced texture — fluffy yet satisfyingly hearty — while a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar adds a touch of warmth and natural sweetness. Quick to prepare in just 30 minutes, Flaxjacks are an ideal breakfast for busy mornings or relaxed weekend brunches. Pair them with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of creamy yogurt for a wholesome and customizable meal the whole family will love!

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 9 tablespoons Warm water
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken — this will serve as an egg substitute.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and the thickened flaxseed mixture.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the Flaxjacks hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
