Healthier make-ahead Pancake Recipe


My youngest requested pancakes last night so after my work out this morning I decided to try for Mom-of-the-Year and blow her mind.  In an effort to make my life easier and begin our journey toward healthier eating I opted to get rid of the Bisquick.  My kids had no idea I had snuck in some healthy foods into their pancakes.

Healthier make-ahead Pancake Recipe
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 cups white flour
- 6 Tablespoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon wheat germ

- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg

Whisk all dry ingredients together and store in a Ziploc bag.  You won't be using all the dry mixture today (unless you have way more kids than hands).  Take about 1 1/2 cups of the dry mixture and add in banana, applesauce, milk and egg.
Cook that baby up!  I know they say to not push the pancake down once you've flipped it - but if you're feeling especially frisky go ahead and push it down!
