Whole Wheat Pancakes -Pantry Recipe-

Anyone who knows my children knows that we go through a obscene amount of frozen chocolate chip pancakes! Two boxes a week at least and that is being conservative :(

This month we are doing a pantry challenge so no more buying frozen pancakes and lets face it my kids are not going to suddenly start eating oatmeal. So that left homemade pancakes but as a mother of 4 children under 6yrs old I don't have the time to make pancakes from scratch in the mornings. That leaves making my own frozen pancakes. In an attempt to trick my children in to eating healthier I made whole wheat chocolate chip pancakes :) and then froze them individually. They are just as simple to thaw in a toaster and taste wonderful :)

Whole Wheat Pancakes

4c. Whole wheat flour

8tsp Baking Powder

1tsp Salt

4tsp Sugar

4 eggs

4c. Milk

8T Vegetable Oil

Mix all ingredients and make as normal but before you flip for the first time sprinkle with chocolate chips :)

Here they are all done....One batch makes about 40 pancakes.

Then once they are all done place them on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen place in a freezer bag and thaw in the toaster when ready to eat.

Of course I couldn't help myself I had to do a cost analysis on homemade frozen pancakes versus store bought.

Homemade: $3.65 for 40

Store Bought: $12 for 40

That is a savings of $25 for one month in our house or $300 for a year!
