Chia Pancakes

These are fantastic for those who are vegan as well as those who aren’t. If I’m short on time, or have no eggs in the house, they are a go-to recipe. Great with blueberries or raspberries and maple syrup.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
Method
Add the flour, baking powder, chia seeds, vanilla and salt to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the milk and maple syrup then whisk until smooth.
Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add two teaspoons of the coconut oil and wipe around the pan with a silicone brush.
Cook large pancakes one at a time, adding more oil to the pan if needed. Cook each pancake for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles start to form, then turn the pancake over and leave for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side until golden brown.
Give the pan a wipe with kitchen towel in between batches to remove any leftover oil or residue so it doesn’t burn.
Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your topping of choice.
