  • Grind flax seeds in a blender to yield about 4 tablespoons ground flax seeds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in milk. Add brown sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.
  • Sift whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Pour into the milk mixture and mix until just combined. Stir raisins and sunflower seeds into the batter. Adjust batter with a little milk if necessary; it should be slightly thick.
  • Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease with cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
