Flaxseed–Chia Seed Pancakes with Bacon

Preparation

1. Pancake Mix

   Step 1

   Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, sugar, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large resealable plastic bag.

   Step 2

   Do Ahead: Pancake mix can be made 1 week ahead. Store at room temperature.

2. Assembly

   Step 3

   Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat (or, grill over a campfire over indirect heat, moving to cooler side of grill as needed to control flare-ups) until browned and crisp, 10–12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

   Step 4

   Meanwhile, whisk eggs and buttermilk in a large bowl, then add dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (some lumps are okay).

   Step 5

   Heat a griddle or a large skillet over medium; brush with oil. Working in batches, scoop spoonfuls of batter onto griddle and cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and other side of pancakes are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

   Step 6

   Serve pancakes with maple syrup and bacon.
