Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk (or plant-based milk)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form and the edges appear set.

Step 7

Flip the pancake and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional maple syrup, walnuts, or fresh fruits if desired.
