Flaxseed and Blueberry Pancakes

By
Mairlyn Smith
Try these fluffy, whole grain, flaxseed pancakes with pure maple syrup on the weekend for breakfast or on a hectic weeknight for dinner. They are quick and easy to make and each serving delivers 1 tbsp (15 mL) of flaxseed.

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups  (300 mL)  whole wheat flour
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  ground flaxseed
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  ground cinnamon
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  granulated sugar
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  baking powder
1-3/4 cups  (425 mL)  skim milk
1 egg
1 tsp  (5 mL)  pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  fresh or frozen blueberries

Preparation

Mix whole wheat flour with ground flaxseed, cinnamon, sugar, and the baking powder in a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk skim milk with egg and vanilla in a medium bowl.

Pour milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in the blueberries.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with canola oil. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the heated pan and cook until tiny bubbles appear on the top of each pancake, from 2 to 3 minutes.

Flip and cook for about 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. As pancakes are done, transfer to a warm oven 200F (100C) until all pancakes are cooked.

Makes 12 pancakes or 4 servings.

    I've gotten real used to throwing them in anything I can. Smoothies, cookies (all baking for that matter!) It doesn't take much if you do it all the time. At first I was hiding it from the kids now even they find ways to use it (eg. on yougrt and cereal.) I told them how a lot of food we eat these days is high in cholesterol and these Flax seeds are a great eraser for that cholesterol and lo and behold, no more hiding!

    Consider mixing ground flax with 9 grain slow cooking cereal to increase fiber content. Mix in some fruit, cook in bowl in microwave oven for 15 minutes on low, top with yogurt. I use Saskatoon berries and Saskatchewan grown apples for addes flavor and because they are what I have in plentiful supply. The use of flax with peanut butter to lower cholesterol might taste good, but peanut butter is not recommended in low cholesterol diets. Unless there is some undiscovered benefit to combat the muscle soreness from statin drugs.
