I don’t know who loves pancakes more, me or the kids. We do them a lot for dinner with eggs and bacon. If I have leftover I either put them into a bag and heat up for breakfast the next day, or I put them into the freezer in stacks of two between wax paper.
To cut down on preservatives and colorings we try to use 100% Maple Syrup, which is more expensive, but a little goes a long way! Plus, I use soft white wheat berries on the “pastry” setting in my wheat grinder.
Depending on what we have on-hand I try to make each batch a little different by adding seasonal ingredients. Here are a few of my favorites.
- 1/4-1/3 cup chocolate chips (we use mini’s)
- sweet potato puree (substitute for oil or butter)
- applesauce (substitute for oil or butter)
- fresh blueberries

Yummy! We also love whole wheat waffles. I substitute 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal for the flour.
These turned out really nice and fluffy and thick. Very filling. We made 1.5 x the recipe for our family of 7 and there were leftovers. Thanks for a great recipe!
