Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: ½ cup kefir or ½ cup buttermilk; ½ cup multigrain cereal, quick-cooking (3 to 5 minutes); 1 tablespoon melted butter; 1 egg; ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour; 2 teaspoons sugar (optional); 1 pinch salt; ½ teaspoon baking powder; ¼ teaspoon baking soda

1
Place the cereal in a small bowl, pour in the kefir and let it stand overnight.
2
(I have soaked these for only 2 hours and they were fine, but that might not work with all cereal mixes).
3
Beat in the egg, the melted butter and the vanilla.
4
Whisk together the dry ingredients, then stir them into the wet ingredients just until combined.
5
If it seems a bit thick, add more kefir or some milk.
6
Heat a griddle and grease as you prefer - I use some ghee or clarified butter.
7
Drop generous tablespoons of batter and cook until you see bubbles on the surface; turn over, and cook until the second side is golden.
8
(The spoon I used is bigger than a tablespoon, I think, but I've never really measured.
9
The pancakes should not be too large).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
