Pancakes - With Soaked Whole Grains

This recipe uses unprocessed grains. If you prefer to use flours, see Pancakes - With Whole Grain Flours.  Obviously not PALEO, but this is a good option if you really feel like you need a cheat.  Soaking the grains minimizes the gluten and phytic acid content.

1/3 cup wheat berries
1/3 cup oat groats
1/3 cup buckwheat
1/8 cup flaxseed

Combine in bowl. Cover with:

1/2 cup whole milk buttermilk
1/4 cup water

Add more water by the Tbsp to make sure grains are thoroughly wet. Cover; soak overnight.

Next morning, scoop whole grain mixture into high speed blender.
Add:

1/2 cup whole milk

Blend until smooth.
Add:

2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp butter, melted

Blend until combined. Scrape down as needed.
Add:

1 egg

Blend until combined.

Cook on griddle on medium to medium-high heat. These pancakes may need to cook slightly longer at a slightly lower temperature than other pancakes.

  1. Hi Robyn!
    I never thought to soak the grains whole and then blend them. Way cool.
    Miss you!
