These pancakes are easy and quick to make. They are free of sugar, salt, oil, dairy, eggs, and white flour. Bonus: baby-weaning friendly recipe.
Since most pancakes are topped with maple syrup, jam, or nut butter, forgoing sugar or sweetener in the pancake won’t be noticeable, and at the same time, it saves some calories. The flaxseeds and chia seeds act as a binder.
I add white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds for a nutritional boost, but these can be omitted or replaced with other seeds of your choice.
This recipe makes about 9–10 pancakes.
Because these pancakes rely entirely on whole grains, seeds, and unsweetened soy milk, they are an incredibly nutrient-dense, complex-carbohydrate breakfast.
