This post is part of an original TIDBITS recipe, first seen HERE on tidbits-cami.com.

Today I’m comin’ at you with my new favorite whole grain breakfast!  Believe me when I say, after you whip up this healthy Multigrain Pancake Mix, you will never again waste a single penny on the store bought, prepackaged stuff.  My kids literally cheer when I tell them we’re having these pancakes (and my husband groans because he’s a late to bed, late to rise type – which means – zip, zero, nada pancakes left over for him . . . oops . . . left over oatmeal, sweetie?)

Cami and I recently posted this review of a fantastic wheat grinder, the NutriMill, and it is what inspired this pancake mix.  But don’t stress if you don’t have a wheat grinder!  All of these flours are so easy to find at your local grocery store nowadays.  Prior to owning a wheat grinder I ordered them all from Amazon.  Here are the grains you will need for this mix, and the Amazon links to them.  (Affiliate Links)

• Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• Spelt
• Oat Flour
• Millet
• Ground Flax Meal

When I buy them in bulk, they are often cheaper on Amazon than if I buy one package at a time from the store, but of course shop around for the best deal!

Here’s how this works:

Simply mix together all of the dry Pancake Mix ingredients in a large bowl.  When you’re ready for the best whole grain pancake ever, you simply mix up your wet ingredients, dump in a cup of pancake mix and that is it!  What would have been a complicated task of pulling out all the bags of different flour and baking essentials, is now literally a 5 minute process.  I love it!

Since this pancake mix will likely be used gradually over the course of 2-3 weeks, I like to store it in the freezer to keep the flour as fresh as possible.

Here’s what I do:

I give the mix a good stir so everything is evenly incorporated, then I put 1 cup of mix into individual ziplock bags, and then stack them up in my freezer.  This not only makes even easier work of it, but it also means you don’t have to stir up a big bowl of mix every time to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.  I save all of my bags too so they can be used again and again for this same purpose.  Add 2 or 3 cups of mix to your bags for larger families.

Another thing worth mentioning, take a look at those wet ingredients and notice that every measurement begins with the number 1 (1 cup, 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, etc).  Once you throw these pancakes together a couple times, you will have this recipe memorized!  If we’re being honest here, I didn’t even realize that until I had made them 4 times!  I’m gonna blame it on busy mornings and a 4 year old who loves to push everyone’s buttons 😉

Final note: This batter will work for pancakes and waffles, cause heaven knows, I heart a good waffle!

This mix has become a staple around here, and I can’t wait for you to try it!
