As an adult do you ever get tired of the sweet pancakes that fill the world? I know I do! Partly because I have a young child who is still in love with chocolate pancakes or pancakes with lots of syrup on them. While I don’t mind a good chocolate pancake once in a while, I get over the sweet pancakes real fast!
On a mission to find a not-sweet pancake that lends itself to a healthier breakfast, is filling, and tastes good, I found Mancakes! I can only guess they are called Mancakes out of some sexist rationale that women don’t like savory things, but I’m speculating. I love these because they are filling and great tasting without any sugar. That’s right, these are sugar-free!
When I made these I offered them to a warehouse old-school opinionated associate that gave them good reviews. Even he didn’t notice from the taste that they were sugar-free and said he enjoyed the texture that the crumbled sausage and seeds added to the pancakes. These Savory Chia Flaxseed Mancakes are definitely a win for those looking for pancakes that aren’t sugary sweet tasting or need syrup on them. They are also thick enough that you could almost eat them like an English muffin, aka hand food for on-the-go! Enjoy!
