Grain and Nut Whole Wheat Pancakes

I am always trying to incorporate whole grains into our morning meal routines for both of my children. These Nut and Grain Whole Wheat Pancakes packed a triple punch for a morning starter because they are filled with not only whole wheat flour, but the additional benefits of being laced with ground oatmeal and chopped walnuts for a hearty and satisfying pancake.

Thanks to the fact that the kids are continually exposed to whole grain foods, I think it is pretty cool that they seem to prefer these now over the white stuff. In fact, our favorite waffle recipe is still my recipe for Cinnamon Whole Wheat Waffles and the kids beg for these for our Sunday morning brunches.

These are definitely the type of pancakes that stick to your ribs which make them perfect for those long days at school before the lunch hour. I have a feeling your family will love these just as much as mine did. Top them with a little maple syrup or favorite fruit preserves and a small handful of walnuts for a beautiful finish.
