Whole Grain Blender Pancakes
My daughter has this thing for pancakes. It doesn’t matter what time of day, thats what she wants to eat. I took an old family favourite that my sister Deb shared a number of years back, changed a few things and created a new family favourite that I feel completely comfortable feeding to my little flapjack girl! Although this picture does not show it, adding blueberries or any other small fruit like black berries or raspberries is a welcomed addition straight into the mix. If you prefer it to be vegan you can substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg no problem. Simply mix 1 tablespoon of flax or chia with 3 TB of water about 5 minutes prior to making and it will gel up. Then substitute this into the recipe in place of the egg at the time the recipe calls for it. Just make sure your blender is strong enough to blend wheat kernels to a smooth consistency. The blendtec can do this no sweat!
- 1 Cup Whole Wheat Kernels
- 1,1/2 Cup Almond milk (or other non dairy milk of choice)
- 1 Eggs or 1 Flax egg (1 TB flax & 3 TB water)
- 1 TB Coconut Oil
- ½ tsp Salt (optional)
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1 tsp baking powder (no aluminum)
- ½ cup blueberries (or other small berry, optional)
- Combine 1 cup of whole wheat grains with 1 cup almond and blend in high powered blender for 2 minutes
- Add additional ½ cup milk, egg, coconut oil, dates & salt (optional) and blend for another 1-2 minutes until smooth
- Add the baking powder & pulse for 3 seconds to mix.
- Pour into a bowl & stir in the blueberries if you are adding them.
- Drop by quarter cup onto a medium heat nonstick or cast iron pan (if using cast iron will need a very little additional amount of coconut oil to cook).
- Try not to burn the pancakes & turn over when you start to see little air bubbles coming up on the surface. It should only take a few minutes to cook.
- Serve with apple sauce, fruit or other favourite nutritarian topping.
These sound great, but when you say wheat kernels do you mean wheat berries? thanks!
I Sal, sorry for the very delayed response to your question. I do mean wheat berries when i’m talking about wheat kernels. Hope you were able to have success with the recipe, take care.
