Hello and welcome to all pancake lovers! I don't know what it is about Sunday, but every single Sunday morning I crave pancakes. It doesn't always have to be sweet ones of course, I like savoury ones too. Check out my spinach tortillas from last week, they were so tasty and so filling I didn't have to eat anything till lunch time, I was that satisfied (and I'm a serious snacker so that is something if I manage to go without a mid-morning snack). These clean and simple pancakes are exactly what it says on the tin. I used spelt flour, which is my current favourite as it contains more protein, fiber and fats (healthy fats) than wheat flour. It is not gluten-free though, so if you are celiac or gluten intolerant, try buckwheat flour instead.

What I love about these clean and simple pancakes is their fluffiness, how airy they are and the fact you don't need any type of sugar. The only sweet touch I added was coconut syrup from Coconut Merchant. I will post a link to Amazon below if you want to buy one, I promise you will not regret it. You only need a tiny bit, I have had this bottle for months and I am not even half way through it.
I used strawberries because they are in season now, but blueberries, raspberries or blackberries would work nicely too. Or you can experiment and try whatever fruit you have at home. Let's get baking!

- 1 flax seed egg - 3 tablespoon water +1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, let sit for 10 min
- 1,5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Next mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium size bowl.
- Pour in the milk, fold in the flax seed egg and strawberries.
- Heat a heavy non stick frying pan until very hot, then pop a small amount of coconut oil and swirl it around the pan

- PS: I usually preheat my oven to 100 degrees and place the finished pancakes in there to keep them warm while I am frying the rest.
