This recipe is great! They are fluffy! I made some changes though to make it a bit healthier. I skipped the butter and used applesauce instead. I also halved the sugar. I put blueberries in the first time I made them and dark chocolate chips in the second. They were delicious. This is now my go to pancake recipe.

Holy cow these are so good!! I try not to try a lot of new pancake recipes, b/c I already have a pretty good variety, but I loved the flax addition. I tried to find flax in bulk bins at our stores but came up empty--so finally had to buy the Bob's Red Mill brand which was a little pricey but now I have a TON of flax to use up! I used whole wheat flour, threw in a few rolled oats & added 1/4 tsp cinnamon (I cut the recipe down for 1 person). These are indeed filling. I spread some natural PB on top, too, even a few mini choc chips. They were just fabulous--nice & fluffy too as promised. Thank you for sharing!
