Ingredient List
For the pancakes:
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup wheat germ
Instructions
For the pancakes
  • Lightly grease a griddle or large skillet; heat over medium heat.

  • In large bowl or blender, mix together milk, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, honey and peanut butter. Mix well.

  • Add white whole wheat flour and wheat germ; stir until large lumps disappear. Do not overmix.

  • To test skillet or griddle, sprinkle with drops of water. If bubbles “skip around,” then heat is just right, and pancakes will brown immediately.

  • Pour the batter by ¼ cupfuls onto the griddle or skillet. Cook on the first side, until the pancakes puff up and bubbles form on the top. Flip pancakes and cook for about 2 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a plate; repeat with remaining batter.

  • Serve pancakes hot with optional toppings: peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

  • Tip: Make a double recipe and freeze pancakes; reheat in microwave for a quick breakfast.

    Note: Batter may be mixed in the blender and poured directly from the blender.
