Here is Why You Need Sprouted Flour Pancakes in Your Life

We all know that pancakes have a reputation for being carb-heavy, nap-inducing breakfast treats that make us question our life choices. But what if I told you there’s a way to indulge without the crash? This recipe uses sprouted wheat flour, which boosts the nutritional value and adds a nutty flavor.

Enhanced Nutrients: Sprouting increases the availability of nutrients, meaning your body can use more of the good stuff in your food. In simple terms, you get more benefits from what you eat, making your food work harder for you.
Easier to Digest: The sprouting process breaks down starches in the grain (similar to my sourdough pancakes), making it easier to digest compared to regular whole wheat flour.
Rich, Nutty Flavor: Sprouted flour has a distinct, rich, nutty flavor that enhances the taste of baked goods…. and it doesn’t have any of the bitterness that regular whole grains can sometimes have.

Plus there are other benefits, including a lower glycemic index and so much more.

Ingredient Substitutions

Variations

Berry Pancakes: Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries to the batter before cooking.
Nutty Pancakes: Stir in some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Mix in a handful of dark chocolate chips for a sweet twist.

Tips for Success

Don’t Over-Mix: Fold the batter gently to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to fully hydrate the flour.
Make even Scoops: Use a ¼ or ⅓ cup measuring cup to ensure evenly sized pancakes.

Storage

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster or oven until warmed through.

Ingredients

2 cups sprouted wheat flour (240 grams)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2-¼ cups buttermilk or kefir
2 eggs
3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the sprouted wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk to blend the ingredients well.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, butter (or oil), syrup, and vanilla.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet mixture and use a wide spatula to fold the mixture together. Don’t over-mix. Let the pancake batter sit for 5 to 10 minute to give time for the flour to fully hydrate.
Preheat a griddle to 325°F (or place a skillet over medium to medium-high heat)
Use a ¼ or ⅓ cup measuring cup to drop the batter on the hot griddle.
Cook until you see small bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake (about 2 minutes). Flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-½ to 2 minutes.

Notes

The sprouting process changes the structure of the starches and proteins, making them more absorbent. Allowing the batter to sit for a few extra minutes before cooking helps ensure the flour is fully hydrated.
