Multi Grain Pancakes Recipe

This Multi Grain and Granola pancakes recipe was featured in the May 2013 edition of Southern Living magazine! I'm both honored and humbled to have my recipe chosen by such an outstanding magazine!

Looking for a healthy pancakes recipe? A while back we went to Cracker Barrel and I tried their Multi Grain Granola Pancakes and thoroughly enjoyed them. Since then, I have been on a quest to make them at home. I put this recipe together and think they may actually be better than the ones at Cracker Barrel. Give them a try and decide for yourself!



You know what? You could even add some fresh blueberries to these if you want! I think I'll try that next time!

Here's what you are going to need:

1 cup of water
2 Tablespoons of Butter
1/3 cup of multi-grain cereal (I used Bob's Red Mill 7 grain)
1 cup of Special K Granola
2 Tablespoon honey
1 ¼ cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup of All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup of Whole Wheat Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Here's what you need to do:

Bring water and butter to a boil.

Remove from heat and add the multigrain cereal. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Add the granola.

Stir.

Add the honey.

Mix well.

Stir in the milk.

Add the egg. Stir to combine. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, add the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.

Mix well.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. It's okay if there a few lumps. You don't want to over mix your pancakes or they will be tough.

Preheat your griddle or non stick pan. You'll know it's hot enough if you sprinkle a couple of drops of water onto the pan and the water drops “dance” across the pan. Use a piece of waxed paper to spread a small amount of vegetable shortening over the surface of the pan.

Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. This would be where you would add some fresh blueberries if you want. Just sprinkle a few on top of each multigrain pancake before you flip them.

Cook until golden brown and you begin to see a few bubble form on top of the pancake. Flip and continue cooking until the other side is also golden brown and cook through.

Serve with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit or a fruit filled syrup.

I think you'll agree that this is a wonderful and healthy pancakes recipe!
