This is the most error-laden recipe I’ve seen in a long time. "adn" s/b and; "buttles" should be bubbles; "over" should be oven.
Are the wheat berries cooked or raw? I never had them so I am unsure what to do with them.
But it’s sloppy! How long does it take to proofread. If no one is paying attention to detail here, are they in composing the recipe in the first place?
Agreed, but you knew what they meant. ;>
I agree! What are wheat berries and what can I use in their stead?
Wheat berries are raw, you blend them in the blendtec to make flour. If you don’t have them, you could just use flour. 1 cup of berries makes 1 and 2/3 cup. That’s an ish, I’m not 100%.
The wheat berries are just raw wheat kernels. You can sub buckwheat groats for the wheat berries.
Under Nutritional Information I believe the CHOLESTEROL count of 920mg
Must be a Mistake. If not a mistake then this recipe should come stamped
with "WARNING these Pancakes could be Hazardous to your Health!" across the top of the page. If this is accurate what raises the cholesterol so high? (I have flax oil and flax seeds in packages and neither has cholesterol listed on label???)
Wheat berries are just plain wheat. Not ground, cooked or otherwise changed. Just wheat.
Wheat berries are what you grind up to make flour. They are raw. You can substitute 1 1/3 cup of flour in place of the wheat berries.

Please say why the CHOLESTEROL is so high on this recipe? Could this be a Mistake?

Or oat groats
What is the frosting made out of in the picture? Can’t wait to try this!
Can I use this to make waffles, too?
What can be used instead of the banana? I don’t eat bananas.
Jennifer Drummond, do you work for Blendtec?
I am wondering if you could just use cooked wheat berries?
I used walnuts instead of flax and frozen spinach, very tasty and very green!
I think I`ll try this with gf flour or the buckwheat!
OMG! I just made these and used long grain brown Basmati rice instead of the wheat berries and they are delicious! Sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on them with pure maple syrup and WOW. Super yummy!
Oops I see now that it serves 7 not 2. Sorry.
I need to triple this recipe for my family of 6 but, 9 eggs seems like a lot for pancake batter. Could this be a typo?
Ok, I missed St. Patty’s day, but finally got around to making these this weekend. They turned out great, even with modifications. I used ‘chia eggs’ , hazelnut milk, buckwheat, maple sugar and added blueberries. So turned these gluten, dairy, egg and refined sugar free with success! I did find I had to run the batter cycle a second time, but no biggie!
How about gluten free alternatives?
I replaced the eggs with Aquafaba, added dairy free coconut yogurt, flax powder, 2 dates and vegan protein powder. The resulting pancakes were cooked on the outside and raw in the center.
Perhaps the grill was too hot, or the dates added too much sugar. I am not quite sure how to better the process.
