whole wheat pancakes...that melt in your mouth!

This morning we had our favorite pancakes. Or I have dubbed them our favorite because they're both super healthy and super yummy!

Steve first discovered the recipe when we were newly married, but googling "whole wheat pancakes" of course. I was still in bed on a Saturday morning, my snoozing disturbed by an occassional shzzz shzz that sounded vaguely like the food processor, followed by the whir of the mixer.

When I came downstairs, there was Stevo, fixing pancakes. What a man! And not just any pancakes. It wasn't only young love that made them taste so good.

Here is the coveted recipe. Steve is very good at the mixing with a "few swift strokes." This morning, we halved the recipe, and I put together the dry ingredients and Steve the wet. We also like to add chopped walnuts to the batter and banana slices to the poured out pancakes (which Steve patiently covers with more batter, otherwise the 'nanas will stick to the pan). Steve eats his with his usual maple syrup and me with my usual agave nectar, which is just as good as syrup and healthy to boot.

The leftover pancakes save ok in the fridge. Make sure to dry them out on a cooling rack as thoroughly as you can (even if your husband laughs at you for it, thinking they are already cool...but you have to get that moisture out of the bottom!).

Yes, please steal this recipe, no matter where you are in your life or marriage.
