Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and the batter to thicken slightly.
- While the batter rests, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.
- In another small bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to create the avocado sauce.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven.
- To serve, stack the pancakes, drizzle with the mashed avocado sauce, and sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
Tips
- Let the batter rest for exactly 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb moisture, creating a more tender pancake texture.
- Use a non-stick griddle or skillet and maintain medium heat to prevent burning.
- Don't overmix the batter - some small lumps are perfectly fine and will ensure light, fluffy pancakes.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Make sure your avocado is ripe but not overripe for the smoothest sauce.
- Cook bacon until crisp for maximum crunch and flavor contrast.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the entire batch.
