Whole Wheat Recipes

I have been trying to use my food storage items more and in particular my wheat.  So this morning I made whole wheat blender pancakes, whole wheat bread, and am now making whole wheat cookies.  Shh...don't tell the kids or Lonnie that they are make with wheat flour!  If you and your family are just starting to use whole wheat introduce it slowly.  We have been eating the whole wheat bread for quite a while now.  Anyhow, here are the recipes...

Whole Grain Blender Pancakes

1          cup milk

1 1/4   cups wheat kernels, whole and uncooked

2          eggs

2          teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2   teaspoons salt

2          tablespoons oil

2 1/2   tablespoons honey or sugar 

Put milk and wheat kernels in blender.  Blend on highest speed for 4-5 minutes or until batter is smooth.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Blend on low.  Cook pancakes as normal.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

1           cup butter, softened

3/4      cup white sugar

1           cup brown sugar

2          eggs

1           teaspoon vanilla

3           cups wheat flour

3/4      teaspoon salt

3/4      teaspoon baking soda

1           12-ounce bag chocolate chips

Cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla.  Add flour, salt and baking soda.  Beat well.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Drop onto cookie sheet by tablespoons.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.  

* If you use all wheat flour you can tell, next time I will probably do half and half.
