Last week I promised to share with you some of my favourite healthy recipes I've come across, created or adapted over the last few years. This recipe is for multigrain pancakes, honestly the best pancake recipe you will ever try. They are so fluffy and delicious, that everyone who tries them, asks for the recipe. I've also included the secret to cooking perfect pancakes. Enjoy:

1/4 cup organic oats
1/3 cup organic spelt flour
1/3 cup organic whole wheat flour
1/3 cup + 1/2 cup of organic white flour
1 tbsp aluminum free baking powder
2 tbsp organic cane sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup of organic milk- your choice of type
1 organic free range egg
3 tbsp of grapeseed oil

Mix all of the dry ingredients together. Then add wet ingredients. Stir until just moist, but not too lumpy.

Grease pan with coconut oil (this gives a lovely subtle flavour, and it doesn't create trans fats when heated) and preheat pan over medium heat. Pour a large spoonful evenly into the centre of the pan, and turn down heat to medium low- this is key! Let the pancake cook until you start to see at least 10 bubbles. Then flip- it should be golden brown. You will know the other side is done when it starts to form a bubble in the centre- the pancake starts to rise like a dome. That's it- perfect pancakes!

Get creative when serving your pancakes too.. real organic maple syrup is best, but also consider trying apple butter, jam, peanut butter, tahini, and even fresh fruit! You can make pizza pancakes using cashew butter as the sauce and pieces of fruit as the toppings. My kids also like to use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of the pancakes and eat them like that.

Left over pancakes are a great snack too. If you add extra milk, the pancakes are thinner and you can make pancake roll-ups with cashew butter and apple butter. Yum!
