Flaxseed Pancakes are soft and very fluffy. They are healthy and nutritious, and delicious with either sweet or savory toppings. In addition, they definitely do not taste like flaxseeds! They are vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and refined sugar free (or can be made with no added sugar).

Ingredients

• 1 cup (150 grams) whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup (20 grams) flax seeds powder
• 1⁄2 cup yogurt
• 2-3 tbsp. (finely chopped) green coriander or cilantro
• 2-3 tbsp. peanut oil
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 green chili, finely chopped
• ¼ tsp black pepper powder
• 1⁄2 tsp (or to taste) salt

Directions:

·      Combine flour and flax seeds powder in a big bowl and whisk the yogurt into it. Add a little water and mix until all lumps dissolve completely. Keep the consistency of the batter similar to that used for making Dosa.

·      Now add salt, black pepper powder, green chili and chapped coriander or cilantro. Mix all ingredients well. Cover and keep the batter aside for 10-15 minutes. The batter is now ready to make the pancakes.

·      Preheat a pan and pour some oil into it. With the help of a paper napkin or wet cloth, grease the pan.

·      Keep the flame on medium-high heat. Pour 1-2 Tbsp. of batter onto the pan and with the help of a spoon spread the batter into a round shape. Pour some oil all around the edges of the pancake and also on the surface of the batter.

·      Reduce the flame to medium and bake the batter until the surface changes color and turns a golden brown from underneath. With the help of a spatula, flip the pancake and bake from the other side as well. Remove from the pan and store in a heated oven while you continue to make more.

·      Reduce the flame for making the second pancake. Sprinkle some water onto the pan to reduce the temperature and clean with a cloth. Similarly, spread batter on the pan, sprinkle with oil and bake until golden brown from underneath. Likewise, prepare all the pancakes with the remaining batter.
