Author Notes: My entire childhood started with buttered jam and honey sandwiches. Now that I have my own kids I love changing up what’s for breakfast. One of their all-time favorites is pancakes that are made with pre-soaked home-made granola. It’s fast, it’s nutritious, delivers whole grains and pairs well with any seasonal fruits. —Comeandcookwithus
Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
1
cup Home-made granola
-
1
cup Water
-
1
cup Flour (I use GF but a mixture of 2/3 white and 1/2 whole wheat works great, too)
-
1 1/2
cups Milk
-
1
Egg
-
1
teaspoon Baking powder
-
1/2
teaspoon Salt
-
1
teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
-
1
tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
-
1
cup Blueberries, grated apple, chopped pear (optional)
Directions
- The night before, soak the granola in water and let stand at room temperature. My home-made granola is made of roasted rolled oats, buckwheat groats, quinoa flakes, some nuts, a little honey and flax oil.
- Mix granola with the remaining ingredients. You will have a bulky, moist dough.
- Heat a non-stick pan, coat with a little oil and place spoonfuls of the pancake mixture onto the hot pan. Turn after 1-2 minutes.
- Brush with maple syrup and serve with fresh fruit
