Mom, if there were a pancake war's you'd win!

I don't know if you have ever seen Cupcake Wars.  It's a show on Food Network where bakers compete for the best cupcake and win prizes. There is a tradition in my house that every weekend, I make pancakes or waffles for my kids. They aren’t just any ordinary pancakes/waffles.  I tend to make a twist to them. Usually something different every time.  This weekend was Banana Waffles topped with Strawberry slices.  What my kids didn’t know either is that I added a bit of flaxseed to the mix. I have heard about flaxseed and its healthy properties and I wanted to experiment a bit. With this recipe my kids didn't even know it was there and ate every bite. Ingredients’ you’ll need: 1 ½ Cups of pancake mix ¼ Cup of Milled Flax Seed 1 Cup of Water 1 - 2  large bananas chopped 4-5 Strawberries sliced Stick of Butter The water amount may be different depending on what type of pancake mix you use.  I used a generic pancake mix. To Make: Heat griddle, waffle iron, or frying pan.  Coat with butter. Mix all ingredients’, except the strawberries and butter,  in a bowl until lumps are gone. Pour into waffle iron, griddle or pan and cook accordingly. Top with sliced strawberries and maple syrup Enjoy!
