Very rarely, my kids demand they want something. So you can imagine how much I was in for a surprise when the girls asked for pancakes for their tiffin to school one day. They never liked pancakes, so I was surprised when they asked me for it! Quickly I made some with wholewheat flour (aatta) and enriched them with some flax seeds. One thing I love about adding flax seeds to anything baked is the softness that it imparts. It makes the whole bake super soft, just like these brownies. You can very well skip the egg and substitute it with 1/4 cup yogurt to make it eggless. If you are looking for a super quick and healthy breakfast option, then look no further! Drizzle up some honey and have it, or it tastes good as is!

Hmmm,… been long since I made pancakes.. well if it was considered as a meal I would be glad to make often.. when i make this.. it is just treated as a starter to the meal! 😛 Atta version looks good.. I tried once with aata but I still prefer the plain flour with buttermilk or egg.. The photography is nice with a dark background… 🙂
Plain flour is actually tastier for pancakes, but then sometimes you look for substitutes… 🙂 Thanks a lot Fami…
Simple Healthy and filling too…Kids must be very happy

From you, I got the idea of adding flax seeds to baking.Starting yesterday, I made the dinner rolls with ground flax seed( I ground the flax seed in an Indian mixer with water until its coagulated). My pav buns were perfect as store-bought ones.These pancakes are perfect with some flax seed.
Thank you so much Sathya… I am overwhelmed! Flax makes buns super soft, right…
Its been ages since I’ve made pancakes. I love making wheat flour ones. I love your idea of adding flax to it.
