These healthy cinnamon flax pancakes are the fluffiest pancakes you’ll ever make! Mostly plant-based, these pancakes are wholesome, packed with heart-healthy omega 3’s, and a generous dose of earthy cinnamon.
Sunday mornings are reserved for pancakes. On that note, we’ve been so busy lately that I’ve been resorting to cereal, even on Sunday mornings when I should have the extra time to prepare them! Albeit the kids love cereal and happily oblige whenever it’s served to them, they do love mom’s pancakes and get so excited whenever discover I’m making them for breakfast. There’s just something about sitting around the table all together on a lazy Sunday morning, enjoying a delicious homemade breakfast with all the fixings. More importantly, these pancakes are easily stored in the freezer, which means they make a quick and easy weekday breakfast for the family, or even easy school lunches for the kids.
This recipe for cinnamon flax pancakes is a relatively old recipe, and has been stashed in my archives for quite some time now. How unfortunate for us that I haven’t taken advantage of this delicious recipe for so long! We all devoured them – me, mostly while I was preparing them! You’ll be amazed at how fluffy and thick these pancakes pillow up as you cook them, all while the sides turn crispy and browned. It’s the perfect combination of a crispy exterior and an airy and light interior. They’re so tasty and delicious on their own, but of course taste even better smothered with rich maple syrup. Serve them any which way your heart desires – whichever way you choose, these pancakes will be the star of the show, and the family will be begging for more.

I love making food and freezing it. It makes like so much easier. I’ve done breakfast sandwiches before but never don’t pancakes before. I think that’s just because it’s always just me and my son so I don’t really have many to make for. I am going to have try this recipe though! It sounds awesome!!!
Ugh! Pancakes are my weakness for sure! These look amazing.
My boys love pancakes. This would be the perfect recipe to surprise them with. AND its cinnamon, there’s definitely no way to go wrong.
OH YUM! I absolutely love both cinnamon and flax so this sounds truly amazing. I will have to give it a try for sure! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These would be great for a Sunday morning breakfast! In fact, they would be great for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. YUM!
We’re Sunday morning breakfast in bed people and my husband’s specialty is pancakes! I can’t wait to try these .. it’s wonderful that they’re dairy free and made with mostly natural ingredients. I’m sure we’ll be topping them with fruit and extra syrup
I have everything that I need for this recipe in my pantry right now except for the flax. I have never cooked with it before, but your recipe has inspired me. It looks delicious and sounds healthy!
I’ve never tried cinnamon flax pancakes, but these look very tasty! Years ago, my wife and I used to make these microwave cake type things that were recommended on the Atkins Diet. That’s the only thing I knowingly made with flax. A different and healthy choice. My wife and I like pancakes and this could be something to try.
Oh these look DELICIOUS! My children love pancakes and are always wanting to try new things, I will save this for future use!
Thank you for stopping by my blog Twist & Sprinkle! xxo
Thanks…when you do try them, please let me know how they turn out!
We are so into pancakes around here! So easy to freeze a batch for mornings you don’t have time to cook. I’m seriously making these, but I’ll probably end up eating them all myself!
I would love to hear what you think of them…if you like sweet pancakes you might want to add more sweetener! 😉
I needed a new pancake recipe and why didn’t I ever think about freezing them?! Your pancakes look delicious!
You’ve never thought of freezing them?! You’ve been missing out, lol! My parents take the kids all week so they usually prepare snacks and sometimes lunch (if I don’t send over leftovers). When I do have a stash of these in the freezer I just remove them the morning of and send them to my parents….or I save them for the weekend (besides, I’m too busy cooking other things on the weekend!!!).
ohhh my gosh, this looks amazing!
you have incredible recipes
Thanks! I don’t want to toot my own horn but you should see the chocolate zucchini bread recipe I have coming up…you’ll want to try this one right away! 😉
