How to Make Light And Fluffy Flax Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 large egg white until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter to the whisked eggs. Gently whisk to combine.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5-6 minutes while you preheat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dollop of yogurt.
