Made with flaxseeds, oats, buckwheat flour, and vegan mini chocolate chips, these pancakes take a classic breakfast food and give it loads of sweetness. We recommend serving them with bananas for a little fruity flair, but you won’t go wrong adding a little maple syrup.

These pancakes also freeze and hold very well, meaning you can cook several and have breakfast all week!
