Chia Seed Pancakes

I love finding ways to add a little oomph in nutrition to my kiddos favorite treats. We have become big users of chia. Heck, just to keep everyone's insides working well, we add a tidbit of psyllium husk. Can top with anything. We love strawberries and maple syrup, bananas with nutella, or just plain ol' boysenberry syrup.
