Lactation Pancakes

Lactation Pancakes

Because sometimes, believe it or not, I don't really want a cookie. (Like at 6 in the morning).

1 cup milk

1 T. white vinegar

3/4 cup quick cooking oats

1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like to use half walnuts, half almonds)

3 T. sugar

1 T. brewer’s yeast*

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/8 tsp. salt

1 egg

2 tablespoons Canola oil

Directions:

1.       Combine milk and vinegar in a small glass bowl and allow to sit for 10 minutes

2.       Combine oats, flax, flour, nuts, sugar, brewer’s yeast, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

3.       Whisk egg and oil into soured milk

4.       Combine wet and dry ingredients, and allow to sit for about 5 minutes for the oats and flax to absorb some of the liquid.

5.       Drop by quarter-cups onto greased medium-heat griddle (they come off fine without grease, but they brown so nicely with it!)

6.       Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days

*Brewer’s Yeast is a nutritional supplement believed to promote lactation. You can get a container of the powder at most health food stores. It is different than nutritional yeast!! It is very bitter, so that’s why we mask it in sugary baked goods J
