We stayed in a cabin at Falls Mill a few years ago, and the kitchen was stocked with their whole-wheat pancake mix. My kids and husband were skeptical, but as I began lifting them off the griddle, their stomachs growled in anticipation. We loved those pancakes so much that I purchased several bags of the mix to bring home with us. When the mix ran out, I came up with my own recipe. Instead of just all-purpose flour and leavening agents, this pancake mix features a variety of whole grains easily found at your grocery store. This healthy, whole-grain mix takes warm pancakes to a new level!
Whole-Grain Pancake Recipe
2014-08-29 17:54:54
Yield: approximately 10 pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole-Grain Pancake Mix, recipe below (see note)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups whole buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To prepare one batch of pancakes, place pancake mix, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add buttermilk mixture. Stir just until combined. (Batter will be thick.)
- For each pancake, spoon 1⁄3 cup batter onto a greased, hot griddle or skillet, placing pancakes 1 inch apart. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of pancakes and edges appear dry, about 3 minutes. Turn; cook until pancakes are browned underneath, approximately 2 minutes. Serve with blueberry syrup (recipe below).
Notes
- Give Whole-Grain Pancake Mix a good stir before you measure.
