Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds
• cooking spray
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
• 1.25 cups skim milk, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Grind flax seeds in a blender to yield about 4 tablespoons ground flax seeds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in milk. Add brown sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.

Step 2

Sift whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Pour into the milk mixture and mix until just combined. Stir raisins and sunflower seeds into the batter. Adjust batter with a little milk if necessary; it should be slightly thick.

Step 3

Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease with cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
