Pancakes

I decided to make the kids pancakes for breakfast this morning. I hav3 never made them from scratch before but I decided to give it a try this morning and I must say I though they turned out pretty well. I tweaked the basic pancake recipe to make it a bit more healthy and even snuck in some flax seed meal!

1c whole wheat flour

1 egg

3/4 c milk

1 tbsp + 2 tsp sugar

3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

1tbsp baking soda

1/2tsp salt

4tbsp water

2tbsp flax seed meal

Measure out the water and add the flax seed meal, allow to sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Mix all of the other ingredients together, and blend until smooth. Add in the flax seed meal and mix. Pour batter onto hot griddle or frying pan. Flip when edges appear firm and the better bubbles on the top. Cook until firm, serve, and enjoy!

The kids seemed to like them, I added a few chocolate chips to theirs when I poured the batter on the griddle. I made them mini pancakes which they love. I use the Papered Chef  medium scoop to make mine, they end up being just the right size.
