Wild Seeded Pancakes
Saturday pancakes gets a little wild with the addition of foraged seeds and maple syrup in the batter. Nutty and sweet, expect these flapjacks to become a family favorite.
What Makes these Pancakes Wild?
When we think of pancakes, we think maple syrup – and what better use for an iconic foraged food? Maple is used as the sweetener in the batter, so no need to pull out the sugar for this recipe. We’ve also included a foraged milk (hickory, black walnuts or a combo of both) that helps build layers of nuttiness from the inside out.
But most importantly, this recipe calls for 1/2 cup of mixed wild seeds and nuts, which gives these pancakes a little texture and surprise. We recommend sunflower, plantain, carrot, and hickory, but check the recipe notes for more options!
What if I Don’t Have any Foraged Nuts or Seeds?
Not to worry! Shop our marketplace for ingredients from foragers, farmers, and makers! (But chia, hemp, flax, and pepita seeds will also work!)
