Flaxcakes

Ah flaxseeds.... My tiny little friends. Buy them finely or coarsely ground and add them to just about anything from salads to muffins to cereal to eggs or yogurt. I absolutely love their nutty flavor, their high fiber and protein content and their high omega 3 power! I have given you my recipe for oatmeal pancakes and this recipe resembles that one. But lately I have been trying a dairy, gluten and wheat free diet for health reasons. And I must admit that I don't miss the oats (oats are grown next to wheat so those who are allergic to gluten cannot have oats either) in these flaxcakes. Try this quick, easy recipe for a morning power protein punch or for a mid day energy boost. I serve mine with a strawberry, mango smile. Happy bikinis!

Recipe for flaxcakes:

1/2 c flaxseeds

2 T chia seeds

1 T cinnamon 

1 t vanilla extract

3 egg whites

1/4 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Mix all ingredients well. Spoon onto lightly greased pan as you would regular pancakes. Cook about 2-3 min per side over medium heat. Flip and cook another 2 minutes or until done all the way through. Serve with fresh fruit and enjoy!

Service with a smile!
