Whole Grain Pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast  your entire family will love.

School is in full swing around here. When my kids were all living at home breakfast was always a bit of a challenge.  
For many years I had kids at 2-3 different schools and that meant 2-3 different starting times.  That didn’t leave a lot of time for “the most important meal of the day.”

But when we did have time to enjoy a healthy breakfast, we loved having pancakes together.  These hearty, delicious whole grain pancakes are the perfect way to start of any day.   And the leftovers freeze really well.  Just store them in the freezer and you pop one in the toaster and have a healthy breakfast even on the busiest morning!

I recently served these Whole Grain Pancakes at our neighborhood Back to School Breakfast and they are just the ticket to give your children a good start to their day.

I am always looking for opportunities to sneak some whole grains into my family’s diet.  And Whole Grain Pancakes is an easy way to do it.  The recipe calls for whole wheat flour, but you could also use spelt flour, rye, oat or buckwheat.

For a whole grain pancake they are surprising light, not dense and heavy. I used honey to sweeten them and added in some cinnamon for extra flavor.

    These look great! I have been looking for a whole wheat pancake recipe and came across this one on foodgakwer. Did you make yours with almond milk? I have not tried making anything with almond milk yet and was wondering how they turned out.

      I have never used almond milk in this particular recipe but have substituted in lots of other recipes and it has worked great

    They look yummy! I have a hard time eating breakfast in the morning so I have been doing the green smoothie thing lately (well not this summer but trying to start up again). What is your favorite green smoothie recipe?

      My husband is the green smoothie maker around here. He uses spinach, kale and or collard greens. (don’t like mustard greens or beet greens) He always puts a banana in it and then loves berries so we picked lots of Oregon berries this summer and froze them – raspberries, marionberries and blackberries. Not a big fan of strawberries in it though. He will also sometimes through in a pear or an orange if we have those. Also not a big fan of apples in it. He puts some water in and ice. Love it!
