Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of nutrient-rich flax seeds
- 1 ¼ cups of skim milk, adjust to desired consistency
- 2 tbsp of flavorful brown sugar
- 1 tsp of aromatic vanilla essence
- 1 ¼ cups of wholesome whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp of leavening baking powder
- ½ tsp of savory salt
- ¼ cup of sweet raisins
- ¼ cup of crunchy sunflower seeds
- some cooking spray for greasing the pan
Step 1
Begin by grinding flax seeds in a blender until you have around 4 tablespoons of finely ground flax seeds. Transfer this fragrant mixture to a spacious mixing bowl, where you will gently fold in some milk, followed by the sweet nuances of brown sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. Allow these flavors to meld together harmoniously while you move on to the next step.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, gracefully sift together whole wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, ensuring a uniform blend of dry ingredients. This blend of earthy components will soon dance with the wet ingredients in a culinary symphony. Slowly introduce the dry mix into the milk concoction, gently stirring until a cohesive batter forms. Next, sprinkle in a handful of plump raisins and crunchy sunflower seeds, infusing the batter with delightful textures and flavors. Should the batter appear too thick, a touch more milk can be added to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3
Prepare your griddle by preheating it to a precise 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly greasing it with a whisper of cooking spray, ensuring a flawless execution of the cooking process. With a steady hand and a tender touch, ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the sizzling griddle, watching as bubbles form and the edges turn tantalizingly crisp, a process that should take approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Gently flip the pancake, allowing the other side to bask in the golden glow for another 1 1/2 minutes until perfectly browned. Repeat this graceful dance with the remaining batter, creating a stack of delectable pancakes ready to delight your taste buds.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep it Cool : Store your whole wheat pancake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and prevent any moisture from getting in.
- 2. Freeze Your Batter : Make a large batch of pancake batter and freeze it in individual portions for quick and easy breakfasts. Just defrost in the fridge overnight and cook up a warm stack in the morning!
