You might call them pancakes, hotcakes, flapjacks or skillet cakes. I must say,
If your mama calls them pancakes, then most likely you will stick with that name for the rest of your life. Since the mother’s day is approaching, I thought to celebrate it just a little bit early. So I wanted to present delicious, and healthier pancakes.

I added in the batter whole ground flaxseed meal. I wish I could have these pancakes every morning for breakfast, preferably “breakfast in bed”.
Hey, this is coming from a person who eats early breakfast ones in a blue moon, meaning rarely. These pancakes are sweet, soft, fluffy, with a slight hint of lemon zest and sweet burst from juicy blackberries. Perfect food to serve on Mother’s Day.
However, this is not all. I paired these yummy pancakes with Vanilla Soy Cafe Latte, and of course, the recipe for the simplest latte is included in this post too.
Blackberry Flax Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1/4 cup whole ground flaxseed meal
- 2 1/2 Tbs. Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Baking soda
- 1 1/4 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted- plus more for skillet and serving
- 1 cup fresh or Frozen Blackberries I used fresh
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice, plus Zest from 1/2 of the lemon
- Maple syrup or jam, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add buttermilk, egg, and butter and whisk until just moistened (batter should have some lumps, but do not over-mix).
- Cut the fresh blackberries in quarters if possible and fold them in the batter; Add lemon juice and lemon zest and mix by folding the batter again.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet, pan or a griddle with butter and heat should be just a bit over medium-low.
- In batches, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet.
- Cook until bubbles appear on top and a few have burst, 2 to 5 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes.
- Repeat with more butter and remaining batter (makes about 12), wiping skillet clean between batches and lowering heat if necessary.
- Serve HOT with butter and syrup or jam and fresh blackberries on the side.
Vanilla Soy Caffè Latte
Ingredients
- 6 oz Vanilla Soy Dream Milk
- 1 tablespoon Instant NESCAFÉ dark roast
- Sweeter of your choice or a shot of Vanilla Syrup for coffee
Instructions
- Place the milk in double boiler and create froth (foam), rose to the tip just below the surface of the pot. -Be close by! I used to see through lid so I can see when the froth is rising.
- Add Instant coffee in the cup with sweeter and pour hot milk in the cup.
Recipe Notes
Soy milk is not steaming like regular milk, the froth is different if you are to compare to regular milk latte. This is just in case if you see it’s not bubbling like you are used to seeing.
If you have equipment right for steaming milk go ahead and skip the recipe and do it your way.
