    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.

    Pancake Toppings - What To Have With Whole Wheat Pancakes

    • Chopped fruit and berries are always a good choice
    • Drizzle some honey on top
    • Maple syrup

    Whole wheat can sometimes make baked goods heavy, but I made sure these are as fluffy as your favorite recipe.

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
