Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
Mix together maple syrup, applesauce, milk, lemon juice and zest in a separate bowl.
Pur milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined being careful not to over mix. The batter will be thick.
Add chia seeds and stir to combine.
Preheat a greased griddle on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes to get it hot. Place about ⅓ cup of batter onto hot griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
