Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup milk or nondairy milk with 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. Set to the side while you prepare dry ingredients.
Over a large mixing bowl, sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt and quickly whisk to fully combine. If adding berries or chocolate chips, add ¾ cup fresh or frozen berries or chocolate chips and toss to coat with flour.
To the flaxseed mixture, add in ¾ cup milk or non-dairy milk , 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons oil or butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk well.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined. It is okay to have a few lumps remaining.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease the pan with coconut oil or cooking spray.
Drop pancake batter onto heated skillet by ¼ cup measurements. Let pancakes cook for 2-4 minutes or until bubbles start to form on top of pancake and edges are set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
