Morais Family Healthy Pancakes

My children love pancakes on Sunday morning! Up to now I have always just made them the Bisquick kind, with a few additions. The thing is my husband & I also love pancakes and in the quest to find one that we could enjoy somewhat guilt free I came up with this one that the whole family can enjoy. I am sure there are many more out there that can be considered healthier, cleaner, etc. I came up with this based on the ingredients I had at hand:

1. Organic Whole Wheat Flour

2. Organic Raw Sprouted Buckwheat Flour

3. 2 eggs lightly beaten

4. 1/4 cup Safflower oil ( can also use canola oil)

5. 1 cup Organic Skim milk

6. 1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut milk

7. 2 tsp baking soda

8. 1/2 cup wheat germ

9. orange jest

10. cinnammon

11. 1 tsp vanilla extract

12. 1/2 tsp of himalayan salt

13. 1 tsp agave nectar

In medium bowl, mix eggs with oil & milk.

Stir in baking soda, wheat germ & four and mix until blended.

Pour or scoop batter onto heated griddle; brown on both sides flipping once. This made 10 pancakes.

I added fresh blueberries while they were on the griddle. At my children’s request I also added chocolate chips. Other additions you can do: Whey Protein powder, flaxseed, mashed bananas, fat free plain yogurt.

They were very filling & tasty and the critics (kids) loved them! My son even said I should open and restaurant 🙂
