Nut, Grain, And Oat Pancakes

1. 1

   Various nuts: walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts are really good (I used hazelnuts and walnuts). Almonds and hazelnuts need to be blanched. Also note that 1 cup consists of whole nuts, before they are chopped. If you use more nuts than this, be sure to add a bit more milk or oil as well.

2. 2

   1. Stick oats and nuts into a blender or food processor and grind until desired texture is achieved.

3. 3

   2. Combine flours, ground oats, nuts, flax seed, baking soda, and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl.

4. 4

   3. Mix eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, honey and sugar.

5. 5

   4. Combine dry and wet ingredients with a whisk, stirring carefully until mixture is no longer clumpy.

6. 6

   5. Let rest while you heat a skillet on medium high heat. Melt some butter or use oil to lightly grease the pan before each batch.

7. 7

   6. Use 1/4 cup to pour batter unto the skillet. Pancakes are ready to flip when they the bubbles stop bursting. They will be a healthy dark brown color.

8. 8

   Enjoy with real maple syrup and hot coffee. Your taste buds AND your tummy with thank you! (These are even so good you could eat them plain!)

   Notes/add-ins:

10. 10

    For add-ins, peanut butter would be yummy if first melted and mixed in with wet ingredients. Coconut or other seeds would also be great additions. A mashed banana in the mix would be another great idea. Or just sliced and added as a topping. If you are a super health nut (like my hubby) you could add a scoop of protein powder.
