Fluffy Chia Seed Pancakes

There's something so comforting about pancakes, isn't there? These fluffy chia seed pancakes are not just tasty but also pack a bit of healthy goodness with the chia seeds. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons sugar (feel free to adjust to your taste)
• 1 tablespoon butter (melted) + extra for cooking
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (if you have it)
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, chia seeds, baking powder (if using), and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and create a lovely fluffy texture.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
6. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
7. Remove pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
