Pancakes With Ground Flax / Flax Seed image

Puffy, fluffy, crispy! This is very loosely based off a "Reader's Quick Recipe" from May 2007's Bon Appetit magazine. I have also made this with 1 1/2 c. flour, 1/4 c. flax, 3 t. baking powder, & 1% milk. Slightly healthier; not as much raving from DH ;-)

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BRAN, FLAX, WHEY PANCAKES WITH YOGURT CHEESE



Healthy Whole Wheat Bran, Flax, Whey Pancakes With Yogurt Cheese image

I've adapted a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook recipe to have whole wheat, flax, bran, and whey for extra protein, as well as some spices. I add blueberries (or strawberries, or whatever else is handy) and yogurt cheese on top for some extra YUM. These probably sound pretty dull and possibly health-food-weirdo strange, but they are delicious and feel like a very indulgent treat rather than health food! I quadruple the recipe and freeze what we don't eat. They reheat great. NOTE: These make a thin, nearly crepe-like pancake. If you like a thicker pancake, use less liquid.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 17m

Yield 12 pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-bran cereal (not All-Bran-it's too heavy(I've found Trader Joe's high-fiber cereal works best)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup whey (or water or milk)
1/3 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 cup blueberries (or other fruit)
3 tablespoons nonfat yogurt cheese
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Put cereal in a small bowl with enough whey to cover it. Let it soak while you put together the rest of the ingredients.
  • Put the remainder of the whey, along with all the other ingredients, in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the moistened All Bran (it should be very mushy) and mix again.
  • Drop by 1/3 cupfuls on a hot skillet or griddle. Flip when the top gets bubbled and cook until golden.
  • Top with a generous helping of yogurt cheese, which adds protein and seems like cream cheese or cream, without the fat. Add your strawberries or blueberries and some maple syrup!

FLOURLESS FLAX SEED PANCAKES



Flourless Flax Seed Pancakes image

As well as being nutritious these pancakes are really tasty. Flax seeds give them added fiber, something we can all use. I am going to substitute the 3 eggs with either 1 1/2 banana or 3/4 cup apple sauce. Also I will substitute the protein powder with soy milk powder and instead of using heavy cream, I will use coconut...

Tips:

  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Flax pancakes are best enjoyed fresh.
