Trying to get more whole-grains in my family’s diet can really be a chore. These pancakes have made it so much easier!

I use my coffee grinder to grind flax seeds and rolled oats and combine them with whole wheat flour.

It is a pretty easy recipe to throw together but I usually make a large batch on the weekend and freeze for use during the week. Just make sure to freeze them in one layer on a plate or cookie sheet before storing in a container so they don’t stick together. Heat them in the microwave or toaster oven and enjoy a quick and easy breakfast!
