Fluffy Pancakes
- Using a spoon, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Mix ground flax seeds and warm water in a bowl with a spoon and set aside for a couple minutes to coagulate.
- In a separate bowl, add melted butter, sugar, flax mixture, milk, and vanilla extract and mix with spoon. Set aside.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Set aside.
- Over medium heat, pour ¼ of the pancake mixture to non-stick pan.
- Cook until bubbles have formed on top of the pancake and the edges have discolored from the original batter color to flip.
- Wait until the pancake has completely puffed down after the flip to transfer to a plate and assemble stacks.
Brown Sugar Syrup
- Combine sugar and water to a small pot over low to medium heat.
- Stir the mixture with a spoon until it starts to bubble.
- Once the mixture is bubbling, about 20 minutes, remove from heat and cool.
- Once cooled to room-temperature, pour over stacked pancakes. Enjoy!
Notes
- This pancake recipe yields 8 pancakes, so if you don't plan on using all the batter at once, you can either cut the recipe in half, store the pancake mix in the fridge up to 2-4 days, or store the cooked pancakes in a zip lock bag to freeze for up to 2 months.
- Meanwhile, the syrup recipe yields 1/2 cup of syrup which you can keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- The pancakes are ready to be flipped when you can visibly see bubbles forming in the center and around the edges of the pancake. You will also be able to see the edges of the pancake discolor from the original batter color. The batter should not be runny when the pancake is flipped.
- If you don't have flax eggs or plant-based milks on hand, or maybe you're not a plant-based eater then there's other options for you. Go ahead and replace the flax egg for 1 chicken egg and replace 1 cup of plant-based milk with 1 cup of dairy milk. Follow the recpe the exact same way.
- To make a dry pancake mix, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, and flax seed. When ready to use, combine that mixture with water, butter, vanilla extract, and milk.
