As promised, here is a favorite recipe. I adjusted this from a family fav that my kids call "Papa cakes." Every time we stay at my parent's house or cabin, my dad makes pancakes for my kids. They love them. I just tweaked the recipe to make them a bit more hearty.
Whole Wheat Oat Pancakes
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk or sour milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or canola oil
- 1/4 cup agave nectar, honey, or sugar
Makes about 24 pancakes. So we eat left-overs on Sunday morning! = :)
*Note: You can just omit the eggs. The baking powder, soda, and buttermilk make them raise just fine. I usually cook a batch without eggs for my little one, then add a couple of eggs for extra protein for the big kids.

mmmm. I love that you're doing these posts... keep them up! Thanks for sharing the pancake recipe. Going to try it soon. And those strawberries look good enough to eat. :)
You are just amazing....
Your pictures are so beautiful. Everything looks delicious. Eager to hear more about the mozzarella!YUM!
I wish I could live with your family and eat your cooking every night! Everything looks so yummy. I was so impressed with the cheese! Thanks for all your ideas and cooking tips.
So I had to tell you that I made these pancakes and loved them. Put a big batch in the freezer to pull out for quick breakfasts. My parents were visiting one day and Ben wanted pancakes, enticing my sweet-toothed Dad to have some, too. My Mom, who is an incredible Southern cook, put her nose up when she learned they were made from not only whole wheat but also oat flour. But she tried, and she liked! Score :)
