Goodmorning Pancakes!

Goodmorning to all of you who want to have a healthy indulgence this morning! Here is a great recipe that you can whip together any morning and get a good boost in the am! First of all, so many people have switched to what they think would be a great low fat fast breakfast by pouring a bowl of special k with low/non-fat milk or even just grabbing a bar on their way out the door. Truth is you could wake up 20 minutes earlier, make these pancakes, wake up your kids tell them they have hot pancakes at the kitchen table and while they are grubbing down, you can jump in the shower and know that they are having a "secret" healthy breakfast and you did too! Research has showed for years that a good breakfast fuels you throughout the day, and carbs are our "genius" for fuel throughout the day!

**With this recipe you can add less or more flour to make a yield to your needs or if you make a big batch you can freeze these and then pull them out anyday and heat them up either in the oven or toaster oven**

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Griddle Time: just watch until they start to bubble then flip & should be done within 30 seconds!

WHOLE GRAIN FLAX PANCAKES
2 cups whole grain flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbs. ground flax seed
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder (for fluffy pancakes)
1 tsp organic vanilla (or to preference)
1 egg add organic milk to a thin, but not runny consistency!!
cinnamon to taste
Mix ingredients so that the batter is a thin consistency and heat a griddle with olive oil. Pour batter onto griddle into dollar sized circles and when they start to bubble turn cakes over. Top with fresh fruit, light syrup, honey, peanut butter or whatever you would like!

ENJOY
