Follow the steps in order for the best result.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flax seed, cinnamon, sucanat (or brown sugar), and baking soda.
Introduce the buttermilk, eggs, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Once bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancakes, flip them carefully. Continue cooking until the second side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
Serve immediately with fresh strawberries, warm maple syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy this wholesome and delicious breakfast!
