Recipe
How to Prepare
Combine ground flaxseeds and 2½ tbsp water in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix coconut milk and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar; let sit for 5 minutes. Stir flaxseeds mixture, and maple syrup into the milk.
In a large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients, adding ½ tsp salt. Make a well and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in 4 tbsp batter per pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook 2-3 more minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with toppings of choice.
