My kids love pancakes. They love to eat them everyday and they do. I used to buy the frozen kind at the store, but that can get pretty expensive and you're limited on how healthy they really are. So after some research, I finally found a recipe that is easy and the kids love. I make these on Saturday or Sunday mornings and freeze the leftovers. Place the pancakes on a cookie sheet let them cool and then freeze. Once frozen place them in a freezer safe container. You can reheat one pancake in the microwave for 30 seconds.
2 cups of flour (whole wheat or 1 cup whole what, the other regular)
1 TBS baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 TBS sugar
1/4 cup of ground flax seed
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1-3/4 cup milk
OPTIONAL - 2 Scoops Beachbody Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
Mix all of your dry ingredients first with a wire whisk in a large bowl. Next add eggs, oil and milk. Stir until just blended. Batter should be lumpy.
Heat a non-stick pan and add 1/4 cup of batter to pan. I make 3 small pancakes at a time, but you can make larger ones. Flip when bubbles appear and edges start to look dry. Cook on the other side for 30 seconds and remove with spatula to tray.
Keep going until batter runs out.
I like mine topped with raspberries and 1/2 a sliced banana. I also have mine with a small vanilla protein smoothie on the side.
Again, freeze the leftovers and they make fast breakfasts for the week. Great for back to school or work.
