Pancakes make a satisfying traditional breakfast, but not everyone appreciates the traditional ingredients used to make them. Vegans, who don't eat any animal products, object to milk and eggs and people watching their cholesterol tend to stay away from eggs as well. It's easy enough to substitute another liquid for milk, but eggs pose a tougher challenge. They're liquid, but bond together when cooked, giving structure to the pancake. Though it may seem strange, ground flax seed can serve the same purpose and works as an egg substitute.
Adding flax seed to your diet is easily accomplished by sneaking it into your normal foods. These Apple Flax pancakes are a perfect example. The ground flaxseed in this recipe adds a slightly nutty flavor to the pancakes that blends well with the apples.
