Guilt Free Pancakes

Everybody loves a good fluffy moist pancake!  Here is how I make them animal/cholesterol free.

Serves 2

Your best non-stick pan is needed here!

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

3 tablespoons of warm water

1 cup non-dairy  milk (I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk… the 30 calorie one)

1 1/3 cup of baking mix (I get the one at aldi… vegan and cheaper than Bisquick)

Cinnamon (if you like it)

Unsweetened natural applesauce

Pure maple syrup  (optional)

In the mixing bowl… place the ground flax seed and the warm water,stir and let rest for 5 minutes then add the milk and baking mix.  Mix with a whisk or fork until all of the dry is incorporated… don't over mix and some lumps are ok.  It should not be like a paste.. should be pourable. So add more nondairy milk if needed.  

Let the mixture sit and rest for 5 minutes.  

Heat your nonstick skillet to a medium heat and add 1/4 cup of batter… when it starts to get bubbly on the top… sprinkle on some cinnamon to you taste and gently flip and cook through.

I serve mine topped with applesauce and a drizzle of maple syrup.  You can omit the applesauce and go straight syrup but that is too sweet for me!   

You can add other things to this mix too… like 2 TBSP oatmeal, or vegan chocolate chips… you can top it with any fruit puree you like!  You can top with sliced bananas and pureed strawberries… be creative!  

Cut them into strips and put them into your child's lunch box and give them applesauce for dipping! 

Enjoy and always be compassionate!
