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
