Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • Vegetable oil or butter, for the pan

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  2. Add milk and egg; stir until just combined. Fold in chia seeds gently.
  3. Heat a little oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium. Scoop ¼ cup batter per pancake, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden and springy.
  4. Stack pancakes on a plate, top with butter and syrup, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a slightly nuttier flavor, toast the chia seeds in a dry pan over low heat for 2 minutes before adding them to the batter. If your batter thickens as it sits while you cook batches, stir in a teaspoon of milk to loosen it back up.
