Wheat Blender Pancakes

One of my friends asked for this recipe so I thought I would post it here as well.

Wheat Blender Pancakes are one of our breakfast favorites!

I have a VitaMix blender, but a BlendTec is also a good choice if you are in the market for a new blender. You can use a regular counter-top blender, but it is best to soak the wheat in the milk overnight in the refrigerator.

Wheat Blender Pancakes
This recipe makes 16-18 pancakes.

• 1 cup whole wheat (not flour-wheat kernels-see photo at end of post)
• 3/4 cup milk (we use raw goat milk since that is what we have)

Soak the wheat and the milk overnight if you don't have a heavy-duty blender.
Then add:

• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 eggs (we use duck eggs)
• 3 Tbl honey or sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt

Blend until smooth then add:

• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda

You can add the baking powder and baking soda with the rest of the wet ingredients, but sometimes it takes a bit longer to grind the wheat and then the baking powder and baking soda aren't as effective. If the batter is too thick, add up to 1/4 cup more milk.

Cook on the griddle like you would cook buttermilk or regular pancakes.


If you aren't sure what wheat kernels look like, here is my jar. You can usually buy whole wheat at health food stores or in bulk at home storage stores. Our family prefers Hard White Wheat, however this recipe works just as well with Winter Wheat or Red Wheat.
