Multigrain Kefir Pancakes

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1/2 cup kefir or 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup multigrain cereal, quick-cooking (3 to 5 minutes)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe

• 1 place the cereal in a small bowl, pour in the kefir and let it stand overnight. (i have soaked these for only 2 hours and they were fine, but that might not work with all cereal mixes).
• 2 beat in the egg, the melted butter and the vanilla.
• 3 whisk together the dry ingredients, then stir them into the wet ingredients just until combined. if it seems a bit thick, add more kefir or some milk.
• 4 heat a griddle and grease as you prefer - i use some ghee or clarified butter.
• 5 drop generous tablespoons of batter and cook until you see bubbles on the surface; turn over, and cook until the second side is golden.
• 6 (the spoon i used is bigger than a tablespoon, i think, but i've never really measured. the pancakes should not be too large).
