Flax Seed Pancakes

[ambakerrn]

Hey there. I made these for the 1st time it had

3 tbsp flax
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp heavy cream
splash of vanilla


The question is that the flax is 4 carbs and 4 dietary fiber ...this should be 0 carbs right? When you put it into fit day it comes up as 4 carbs for the 2 tbsp serving size? It says with all these ingredients it is 8 carbs that doesnt sound right to me? Anyone know? They gave the cinnamon, vanilla and baking powder like 2 carbs each. Any help would be great. Ithought this would be a low carb item

Re: Flax Seed Pancakes

Re: Flax Seed Pancakes

I have the PC version of Fitday (should be the same though) and I got this:

2 tbsp flaxseed: 1 net g carbs
1 tsp cinnamon: 1 net g carbs
1 tsp leavening agents - baking soda: 0 net g carbs
1 egg (medium sized): 1 net g carbs

The cinnamon gave me 2 net carbs for a tablespoon (it's easy to confuse tbsp with tsp on fitday... I've done that often before)

Makes it a little less...

Re: Flax Seed Pancakes

Flax meal... or you could grind the seeds yourself, which is what I do.
