Raw Flax Seed Pancakes Recipe

Banana Flax Seed Pancakes
makes 2 servings

Ingredients:
1 cup flax seed meal
1 banana
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
honey or agave syrup

Optional Ingredients:
(choose 1 or many)
dried berries (raisins, cranberries, etc.)
oats
granola
marmalade or preserves
peanut butter

Pour the flax seed meal, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl or food processor. Peel the banana and add to bowl of meal in pieces. If you are using just a bowl, mush up the banana with a fork and mix into the flax seed meal until it's pretty consistent. Add the honey or agave and mix up some more.

I like to mix granola or oats and berries into the mixture, then add my homemade preserves or some organic PB on top. It tastes kind of like a holiday pie. Delicious, full of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals! Gluten free, too.

  1. This sounds like loads of fun! I never used to like pancakes that much because they always made me sick. After finding out I have issues with gluten back in June, I finally decided to try gluten-free pancakes and they were AWESOME!!

    I will add this recipe to mine as a future reference for exciting recipes to try out. Thanks for the post!!

  2. I hope you enjoy it! My friend Ricky's mama told me they taste like pumpkin pie, probably because of the delicious cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove that I add. Another friend told me it's like one of those raw food energy bars. Flax seeds are so versatile. I'll be adding recipes pretty regularly so keep an eye out!
