Flaxseed Pancakes





Flaxseed has got to be one of tastiest things I have discovered since starting keto, and a lazy Sunday morning called for an extra special brunch: flaxseed pancake with bacon, a fried egg and cheese. The pancake is massively versatile, you can top it with an egg and cheese, just with cheese, replace the salt with splenda for a dessert or make it the night before and pop it in the toast the following morning and cover it with marmite for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

15g butter  (I prefer country life but other brands work just as well)
20g Linwoods milled flaxseed
1 medium egg
A pinch of salt

First melt the butter in the microwave, then add the flaxseed and salt mix together, before stirring in the egg you should get a fairly thick mixture. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan and just before it starts to bubble pour in the mixture, let it cook for a while and then flip it over.

If you want to add the bacon and egg I leave the pancake sitting on the side while I fry the bacon in the same pan, then finally the egg. That way you don't waste any of the fat or the flavour that you have from the butter.
