Low Carb Chocolate Chip Flax Pancakes

Hi!

I'm trying to incorporate more flax into my diet and wanted something different for breakfast, so here it is.  This is not a soy free recipe, and I wouldn't trust soy protein to be gluten free unless it states so on the package.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Flax Pancakes

Dry ingredients:
1/3 cup flax seeds ground to 2/3 cup or 2/3 cup flax seed meal
1/3 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup soy protein isolate
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon SteviaPlus
2 packets Splenda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet ingredients:
1 egg
1/4 cup cream thinned to 1 cup with water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla


In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients. In another small bowl, combine the wet ingredients, then add them all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir them well, then let the batter rest for a few minutes so it can thicken up. You might need to add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to get it to the desired consistency. Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle and sprinkle about 10 - 12 chocolate chips on each pancake before flipping them. Serve hot with butter or peanut butter and sugar free syrup. For an extra treat, if you can manage the carbs, add some banana slices. Yum!

To me, these tasted like a really good whole grain pancake. I hope you enjoy them!

Blessings,
Sharron
