I start with the whole grains of wheat soaked overnight originally here: blender pancakes , but I transferred the instructions to this post also.
to these!
With your blender
...and some goodies.
The batter cooks up just amazing!
So another crazy thing I do...among other things, is make pancakes from the whole grains of wheat, without flour. You read that right too. We started soaking wheat for bread, but it takes 3-4 days before the bread is ready. Pancakes however are just around the corner. This one uses soft wheat, so that you get fluffy pancakes. It's worth trying at least once, but I think you will be pleased with how easily they come together.

Blender Whole Wheat Pancakes:
2. Drain wheat well. Don't soak longer than 18 hours, or it will be funky!
3. Put drained wheat and 1 cup organic vanilla soy milk (or regular milk works too!)
4. Blend 3 minutes on Liquefy setting Leave blender on, just open the little top thing (sorry this is so technical).
5. Add 2 eggs,2 T oil ,2tsp baking powder.1/2 tsp salt, 1T honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla, dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh orange zest (micro plane)Continue to blend about 2 minutes. Total 5 minutes blending. If you don't blend long enough, the wheat will be chunky instead of a smooth batter.Pour right from blender onto a hot griddle. Yields about 12 4 inch pancakes.

Blender Whole Wheat Pancakes:
You will need:
1 cup soft wheat (red or white)
1 cup milk or soy milk
2 eggs, or 1/2 cup egg replacements
2 T cold pressed oil--or the oil of your choice
1T honey (or 2 T sugar)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest
1. Soak 1 cup soft red or white wheat in 3-4 cups warm water overnight, about 8 hours.
Soft wheat has a lower protein content and will make light pancakes,while hard red works, but it is a little tricky to get a fluffy end result. I love these with soft white wheat if you can find it.2. Drain wheat well. Don't soak longer than 18 hours, or it will be funky!
