They are good in pancakes too.

Be careful if you have IBS. The inner portion of the seed is soluble fiber, which is great for IBS, but the outer hull is insoluble fiber, which can be irritating. I liked the chia so much I increased it by too much one day, and then forgot and ate a goodly portion of pureed beans as well (which likewise contain a lot of insoluble fiber) and woke up at 4:00 am with knifelike pains from the gas. I have had to drop back on fiber to give my system a chance to calm down, but I will gradually add the chia back in soon.
