Flaxmeal Pancakes Eating flax is one way to make your diet very healthy. Flaxseeds contain omega-3 fats, which are an essential part of any diet as they are anti-inflammatory and heart healthy. Here is a recipe that includes flax, as well as whole-wheat pastry flour, making a tasty high-fiber breakfast.3 cups Whole-wheat Pastry Flour 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder 1 Tablespoon Salt 1 cup Rolled Oats 3/4 cup Flax Seeds, coarsely ground 1 cup dry Powdered Milk, dairy or soy 1 teaspoon fresh Nutmeg, ground 3 Eggs, beaten Water Canola Oil
Mix together all dry ingredients. Add the eggs and enough water to make batter the consistency you desire. Heat a small amount of canola oil in a skillet. When a sprinkle of water skitters across the surface, pour a 4- to 5-inch circle of batter. When bubbles rise to the top, flip pancake and cook until golden brown. Drizzle with maple syrup or top with your favorite fruit compote or cinnamon applesauce.
Store leftover pancakes in the freezer for a quick weekday breakfast, or smear them with a little peanut butter or almond butter, roll them up and eat as snack. Your kids will love this treat!
