Whole Wheat Pancakes

Whole wheat pancakes tend to be heavy but the following recipe is not! Making your own, rather than using a store bought mix, is both economical and healthier. Whether you use fresh ground or store bought flour, this is a great recipe!

We buy enough whole wheat berries in bulk to last for one year and store them in 5-gal buckets with oxygen absorbers. As needed, we grind the wheat berries to make flour and use it fresh.

This way we have the nutritional benefits of fresh ground flour and the economical savings of buying at a reduced price of bulk purchasing direct from the grower. For more information on preparing grains, see Grain Preparation.

Whole Wheat Pancakes For Breakfast - Tips

We have whole wheat pancakes every morning during the week. No, we are not in a rut and we do have variety! Periodically, chopped nuts are included - on Fridays, we have raisins in our pancakes - on Sundays, we have eggs and biscuits!

If not using sprouted flour, soak the flour overnight in 1 ½ c. kefir and 1 ½ c. milk. This helps break down the phytic acid in whole wheat which inhibits absorption of calcium in your body. In the morning continue by adding the remaining ingredients, mix well and cook.

And of course, you'll want a nice cup of cinnamon coffee to go with it.
