Please join me in welcoming back Honey Were Healthy contributor Jennifer of The Chronicles of Home.  She never disappoints with her recipes and today is no different.  As you know, we love pancakes around here, and today Jennifer is sharing how she makes multigrain buttermilk pancakes.  Enjoy!

Multigrain Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk pancakes are sort of the gold standard when it comes to pancakes.  When youre looking for a fluffy, pillowy, nostalgically good pancake, buttermilk is the way you want to go.  

Classic buttermilk pancakes, however, while delicious, dont have a whole lot of redeeming health qualities.  Theyre usually made with white flour and white sugar and will probably leave you hungry again in a few hours.

This multigrain version of a classic buttermilk pancake includes whole wheat flour, cornmeal, oats, and flax seed meal.  It swaps honey for most of the white sugar as well.  You can expect a fluffy, lightly sweet pancake with a bit more tooth and heartiness to it than a traditional buttermilk pancake.  For me, its the perfect mix of classic and healthy.  

Ingredients

1 c. whole wheat flour

3/4 c. all-purpose flour

1/3 c. whole cornmeal

1/4 c. old fashioned oats

1/4 c. flax seed meal

2 tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 3/4 c. buttermilk at room temperature

4 tbsp. grapeseed oil

1/4 c. honey

3 eggs at room temperature

*To bring buttermilk to room temperature microwave it for 20-30 seconds in a glass measuring cup.  To bring eggs to room temperature, let them sit in their shells in a bowl of hot tap water while you prep the other ingredients.

Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium heat.

Whisk all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl to blend.  

In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, grapeseed oil, honey, and eggs until combined.  

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.  The batter should be a bit lumpy.

Spoon several tablespoons of batter in four puddles onto the hot pan and let cook for a few minutes, until little bubbles form and the underside is golden.  

Flip and cook another few minutes, until pancakes are cooked through. 

Serve warm with pure maple syrup and fresh berries.

Makes about 20 pancakes.  Adapted from "Four-Grain Flapjacks" in The Joy of Cooking.

weight loss guide after pregnancy | Getting Fit in the New Year

weight loss guide after pregnancy

Hi all!  I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and are ready to ring in the new year!  Many of us have set fitness goals for ourselves and theres no time like the new year to start turning your goals into reality and your plans into action.

If you want to get yourself and your family healthier in the new year, this blog is for you. :)  Last year, I wrote about Getting Started Getting Fit, Making Time to Workout, Time Management Routines, and Waking Up Early to Workout, all of which will help get you started and on your way to a more fit lifestyle.  (Click the photo below to read the entire post).

Ive also posted my most current workout routine, the Live Fit 12 Week Trainer.  As the name suggests, its a 3 month program that provides specific details about what to eat and when, the workouts to do, and proper supplementation.  I completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 last year and am starting Phase 3 now.  Ill share that last part of the program with you later this week.

                            

                          

If youre looking for healthy recipes, click on "FOOD" under my blog header.  You can start your morning with Protein Pancakes (my son requests them quite frequently) or a Breakfast Egg Sandwich. 

To see how I prepare 10 meals in advance so theyre ready to go for a quick lunch or dinner, you can read Food Preparation Day and then try out my favorite Tex Mex dish (its made with extra lean ground turkey and is delicious!).  Making meals in advance is the only way I can guarantee that I eat real home-cooked (not processed or pre-packaged) food every four hours.  My Protein Brownies are a yummy snack with only about 100 calories.  And Im sure we can all start drinking more clean water.  To make your water more fun, why not keep some Spa Water on hand? 

                            

                               

Finally, Im so thankful to have contributing food writer Jennifer of The Chronicles of Home bringing you healthy recipes every other Thursday.  I especially love her food photography- so pretty!  Check out her Butternut Squash & Lobster Risotto, Black Beans & Rice with Apple Slaw, and Multigrain Buttermilk Pancakes.
