grain packed healthy pancakes

Ask my American born 4 year old what he wants for breakfast and before you’ve even finished the question he’ll have told you. Pancakes. Always pancakes. I can’t always find the time in the morning to indulge him but when I do, these are the grain packed healthy pancakes I make.

These are far from the boxed fluffy American pancakes many people are used to. The ones from the box, easy and nostalgic as they may be, have very little goodness in them. These fellas are jam packed with toothsome grains and will keep tummies fuller for longer. They are also a great way to clear out random almost empty packets of grains in your store cupboard – in fact that’s how I came up with the recipe.

Many American pancake recipes use buttermilk, but because I don’t use buttermilk that often, I find myself with unused cartons of it. So I just use a mixture of yoghurt and milk in my pancakes instead and it has the same effect.
