Carpe pancakes

Seize the pancakes...

2 c. milk (soy or rice milk work too)
1 T ground flax seed

mix the milk and flax seed in a separate bowl--this is your egg substitute. It makes the consistency when cooked a little different (more "doughy"), so be ready, it's delicious.

1.5 c. whole wheat flour
2 T wheat germ (we probably did 3T or more--can't go wrong with more)
1 T sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

mix all of these dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add in the milk/flax seed mixture and stir just until mixed.

1/3 c. chopped walnuts
1 sliced banana

add these to the batter, and cook 'em up. Using oil is recommended instead of spray/butter:

2 T oil (canola, sunflower, or safflower is recommended, we used olive and it was excellent)

We just made these a second time this weekend, and did blueberry instead of banana/walnut, and they were amazing. We also did some with the Cascadian Farms frozen mangoes mixed in with the blueberries, which was redonk.
