Ingredients

• 1 cup whole grain spelt flour
• 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, ground flax seeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flax seeds to absorb liquid.
5. Meanwhile, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
6. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
7. Cook until the edges are set and the bubbles on the surface start to burst, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm.
10. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet if necessary.
11. Serve the pancakes warm with a generous amount of fresh berries on top.
