Healthy Flax and Protein Pancakes

I started with Pancakes #78893 (Shari2) and adjusted for my needs. These pancakes have protein, no white flour and taste good! I use half wholewheat and half oat flour. The sugar can be adjusted, depending on what you plan to put on the pancakes. With 3t fruit sugar, I can eat them as they are, or with bananas or unsweetened applesauce. They do brown easily! Be sure not to use medium heat on the stove and give them time to cook through.
