This 100% whole grain pancake mix doesn’t have that typical whole grain taste and the pancakes, which only take a few minutes to whip up!

Ingredients

For the pancake mix:

  • 5 cups (650 grams) whole spelt flour or whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour
  • 3 1/2 cups (315 grams) quick oats or old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons unrefined sugar or normal granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canola oil

To prepare the pancakes:

  • 1 cup (130 grams) pancake mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk

Instructions

To prepare the pancake mix:

  • Put the oats in a food processor and let it go for a few seconds. You want them chopped, but not so much that they turn into oat flour.
    3 1/2 cups (315 grams) quick oats
  • In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, including the chopped oats and then add the canola oil. You could use a stand mixer or electric mixer, but I’m lazy and just use my hands.
    5 cups (650 grams) whole spelt flour, 3 tablespoons unrefined sugar, 3 tablespoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon baking soda, 1 cup (240 ml) canola oil
  • Store the mix in the refrigerator for up to 3 months or store it at room temperature for up to two weeks. This makes 10 cups of mix, enough for eighty 4-inch pancakes.

To make the pancakes:

  • Mix everything together. You’re supposed to wait 20 minutes, but I’m impatient and I don’t do this. The oats soak up some liquid during this time, making them fluffier, but I like mine thin.
    1 cup (130 grams) pancake mix, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
  • Heat the stove to a medium.
  • I don’t use any butter in the pan, but if you normally do, go ahead. Drop some batter into the pan.
  • Cook the pancakes for about two minutes per side, unless you add berries or apples. Then I do mine about 3 minutes per side.

Notes

  • Yield: If you use 1/4 cupfuls, one batch, with one cup of mix, will yield eight 4-inch pancakes.
