Cut recipe in half to serve 2. Used Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix and water instead of milk. Didn't have berries or fruit, so added a couple of Tbsp. more of water. Perfect. Light and fluffy and healthier with flax. Will make again.

OUTSTANDING!!!! not grainy like other flax/soy/oat/buckwheat pancakes I've had. This is the most enjoyable way to get those Omega-3's in!

EDIT: Not all ground flax is created equal. I LOVE this recipe now that I've found a ground flax seed that doesn't turn to cement paste! I've tried apple cinnamon and banana since. It's my "treat" on the weekend and look forward to it! very yummy!

These were really good and nutritious! They were very thick. I used Heart Smart Bisquick. I replaced one egg with Egg Beaters (because I ran out of eggs) which made it even healthier. Yummy!

These are good. I didn't have any blueberries, so made them w/o. Next time will have fresh on hand. Looking forward to it. They are filling, not like those things that are called pancakes. These will stay with you. Thanks alot!

These were really good. I tripled the batch for our big family. I also added about 3/4 cup of sugar and chocolate chips. :) ( We don't do syrup so we make them sweeter.) Everyone said they tasted a little healthy, but the kids ate them up. Thanks!

Excellent! Like others, I'm trying to get more flax in our diets. :) I did an eighth-size batch of the Homemade Pancake Mix by Wendy to make a half-batch of these pancakes. I then used 1/4 cup flax (I ground up some flax seeds that I purchased in bulk for like 57 cents a pound instead of a store-bought seed meal!), more like 3/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and around 3/4 cup sliced up and thawed frozen strawberries. Excellent! My four-year-old scarfed them down and wanted more! Thanks for sharing, Freckles!

These were really good! Instead of using a boxed pancake mix from the store I used the homemade pancake mix recipe from this site. I followed the recipe as stated and did use frozen berries. I put flax in many different bread and muffin recipes I make from allrecipes, and now pancakes!

These were definitely thick. We added at least another 1/2 cup of milk, it was necessary. I also used Bob's Red Mill whole grain pancake mix. They were filling and delicious, but would probably be a bit more tasty with a tbsp. or two of sugar added to the batter. Excellent with real maple syrup!

This is a wonderful healthy alternative for Sunday morning breakfast. My children ate them better than plain pancakes. Just make sure the batter is not too thick, I added an extra tablespoon or two of water to thin it out a little.

These were good and definitely not what I was expecting for something that was packed with so much fibrous goodness! The blueberries added flavor where I wasn’t expecting it, which was a pleasant surprise. I mixed some extra frozen blueberries and Splenda for a topping which added even more blueberry-ness, which we both loved. They were also very filling and easy to make. Yum!

These were just as easy as traditional mix pancakes, but much fluffier and healthier! This will become a regular weekend treat for us!

My family loves this recipe. I have made it twice now, once with blueberries, and once with chocolate chips and bananas. I sneak flax meal into every recipe I can, and it really works well in this one!

I used a egg substitute which made the batter a little watery so I added an extra tablespoon of pancake mix. I also dropped a couple blueberries on each pancake while on the griddle. They came out great! I boiled some extra blueberries with a little sugar and I served the pancakes drizzled with the blueberry "syrup". Excellent and good for you!

Wow, these were amazing. Light, flavorful. Real maple syrup was an excellent topping. I did use a cast iron pan vs. nonstick, which made them not so "pretty", but will do it again for the health benefit.

My kids looked at the pancakes and asked what was wrong with them. But, I threw in a few chocolate chips and they were a hit--even w/ my picky one. I used Bob's Red MIll 10 grain pancake mix and the same brand in flaxseed meal. They tasted very good and are very good for you (as healthy as a pancake can be). I will be making these in place of our usual pancake recipe. Thanks!

AMAZING pancakes! These were so simple to whip up. I too used the make-your-own pancake mix found on this site. These are real stick-to-your-ribs pancakes and adding fresh blueberries makes them so sweet and almost creates its own syrup. Make these for breakfast today!

I followed another user's advice and used Bob's Red Mill multigrain pancake mix. However, instead of using milk I used lowfat buttermilk and subbed egg replacement for the eggs. This is even more exceptional with the addition of chopped pecans or walnuts and a blueberry compote (a couple handfuls of blueberries and enough sugar to lightly coat, simmered over medium heat until most of the berries burst and emit their juices).
