Flaxjacks are a delicious, healthy snack or breakfast option that are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Made with a base of ground flaxseed, these chewy bars are packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They're also gluten-free, grain-free, and vegan, making them a great choice for people with dietary restrictions.
This article provides three different recipes for flaxjacks, each with its own unique flavor and texture. The first recipe is for a classic flaxjack, made with simple ingredients like honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. The second recipe is for a chocolate flaxjack, which adds cocoa powder and chocolate chips for a rich, decadent flavor. The third recipe is for a fruity flaxjack, which uses dried cranberries and blueberries to create a sweet and tangy snack.
All three recipes are easy to follow and can be made in just a few minutes. Flaxjacks are a great way to use up leftover flaxseed, and they're also a great way to get your daily dose of fiber and protein. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack or breakfast option, give flaxjacks a try!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.
- Whisk the butter into the milk mixture, add to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
- Keeping the skillet at medium to medium low heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make one or two more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

- Use a Variety of Toppings: Experiment with different toppings such as nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and spices to create unique flavor combinations.
