I have to say, of all my recipes, I think I'm most proud of this one! I've combine aspects of different recipes, made adjustments for my diet, and then added a twist for extra protein and a really unique flavor!
I also like how easy it is to adapt or create variety with this versatile recipe.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups flour **I combine varying amounts of oat flour, all purpose, and whole wheat! (Note: GF peeps should obviously use gluten free oats or flour here)
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 - 1/4 cups chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or your desired sweetener)
1 1/4 cups milk (I've been using slightly less, so that the pancakes are a little thicker)
1 duck egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
**add banana, apple, or berries!
Directions:
Melt the butter
Add the remaining wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients
Mix wet and dry ingredients **add 1/8 of the chia seeds, let the batter sit a few minutes, then add more chia seeds if a thicker consistency is desired
Scoop out ~1/4 cup of batter onto griddle/pan
Add in apples, bananas, blue berries, etc!
Being able to eat apples, bananas, and blue berries has been incredibly exciting for me, and eating a "real" food like pancakes is so comforting! These pancakes are so filling, and really tasty.
