100% Whole Wheat Pancakes

Last night, I made a large batch of pancakes to freeze for quick breakfasts.

Usually, finding a recipe that is completely whole wheat is difficult-- if you want the pancakes to taste delicious, as well.

All Recipes (.com) has been a great source for me to follow for baking starter recipes. I love being able to read other people's reviews of the recipe and about the changes they made to the recipe.

My husband and I had to taste our pancake batch (of course!), so we each sat down with two pancakes and real maple syrup. They were yummy! We like to make our pancakes thinner than the usual bread-heavy pancakes. We also like to add spices and ingredients to the pancake recipe. I will post the recipe I used for the pancakes, as well as my additions.

100% Whole Wheat Pancakes from allrecipes.com
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour
Servings: 16 thin pancakes
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups coconut milk
3/4 cups water (and 1.5 cups more added, as necessary)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS:
1.Whisk whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl; pour milk mixture into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
2.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto hot skillet and use a spoon to spread the pancake a bit. Cook until browned and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

My Additions (this time):
-lots of cinnamon
-sprinkle of ginger
-three shakes of nutmeg
-two shakes of cardamom
-chopped almonds

Could also add:
-fresh or dried fruit (bananas, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raisins, apples, etc),
-other nut varieties (walnuts, pecans, etc)
-granola, bran, or oats

Pancakes are a favorite of mine to make! They are a little time consuming, though...

Enjoy!!
God bless you and keep you,
