Pancakes!

I have been meaning to post more recipes on here for a long, long time. This is one of our family favorites for breakfast or even as a quick snack for the kids and it is super healthy!! I double the recipe and then freeze the extras to pop in the toaster for a quick breakfast. Hope you enjoy it.

Christina's Whole Wheat Pancakes

2 large eggs

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup ground flax seed

1 1/2 cups milk

2 tbsp granulated or packed brown sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

optional: 2 ripe bananas, mashed (I highly recommend if you have some!)

Beat eggs in medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional milk by 1-2 tablespoons at a time.

Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375. If necessary, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 - 1/3 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbly on top, puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook on other side until golden brown.

I like to top mine when they are hot with a bit of peanut butter and fresh berries instead of syrup for a healthier option.
