These healthy freezer pancakes are a great make-ahead breakfast option for busy mornings. Packed with whole grains and nutritious ingredients, they are easy to prepare in bulk and freeze for later. Simply pop them in the toaster or microwave to enjoy a warm and fluffy pancake in minutes!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries if using.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter as needed.
  8. Allow the pancakes to cool completely before transferring them to a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the freezer until frozen solid.
  9. Once frozen, transfer the pancakes to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container for storage.
  10. To reheat, simply toast the pancakes in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick and easy breakfast.
