Heart-Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes

1. 1

   Grind flax seeds in a blender until you have about 4 tablespoons of ground flax seeds. Move them to a large mixing bowl and stir in the milk. Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.

2. 2

   Sift the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. Add this to the milk mixture and mix just until combined. Stir the raisins and sunflower seeds into the batter. If needed, thin the batter with a little milk; it should be slightly thick.

3. 3

   Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease with cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges look dry, 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.
