1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage (So Delicious)
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal
4 Tbsp water
Directions
Stir flaxseed meal and water in small pot until simmer; remove from heat. Set aside to thicken for a few minutes. (This is your egg substitute)
Measure all other ingredients into bowl and stir until mostly mixed; no need to remove all lumps. Then stir in the flaxseed meal mixture. If mixture seems too thick, add more coconut milk.
Drop onto hot skillet pan by the tablespoon. When edges bubble and brown, flip. If pancakes come out too thick, thin the batter with additional coconut milk.
Serve hot with real maple syrup or safe jam for dipping.
Notes
This recipe is definitely worth finding flaxseed meal for...even the adults love it, and the kids sometimes forget to dip the pancakes in syrup because they taste so good on their own!
Since it uses the unsweetened coconut milk beverage, it does not come out tasting too coconut-ty.
Substitutions
Flaxseed meal mixture can be substituted with one egg if desired and safe.
Cow's milk or a different milk substitute can be used, depending on your needs.
