Flaxseed Blueberry Walnut Pancakes

Halfway done pancakes on a hot ass griddle, comin' up.

Don't you miss the indulgence of pancakes on a Sunday morning?  I know I do.  When that happens, necessity kicks in and causes me to invent an NSNG Sunday morning pancake that both nourishes AND stops the craving in its tracks.

Flaxseed Blueberry Walnut Pancakes

1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1 Tablespoon greek yogurt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup walnut pieces 
Butter 
Freshly whipped cream (optional)

Combine all ingredients well in a large mixing bowl.  Batter will be quite thick.

Heat a generous pat of butter until bubbling and almost browning on medium high heat in a non-stick pan.  Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter into pan, then gently press batter down to form a pancake.  Let cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes.  Press a few blueberries and walnut pieces into each pancake, then flip the pancake to cook the other side an additional 1-2 minutes.  Repeat with additional butter and remaining batter until finished.


Spread hot pancakes with an additional thin layer of butter or serve with freshly whipped cream.

  2. This recipe serves two. I recommend doubling it for three to four.

  3. Looks great, Anna. But I take it, it is not really suited forcrepes? (The pancake on the pic looks more like a hard cookie - Yummy too, but not how I see my dinner (whenever I had crepes - for dinner - it was with either cheese, bacon or ham. and sugar-derived syrup - not on NSNG of course!)

  4. Hi Marco!!

    This is definitely a more "rustic" style flapjack due to the flaxseed meal, so it puffs up nicely, and it's not suited for crepes. But now you've inspired me to work on a crepe recipe!!
    Thanks for stopping by!
