Notes
Substitute 1⅓ cup of flour in place of the wheat berries.
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!
I think I`ll try this with gf flour or the buckwheat!
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?
Oops I see now that it serves 7 not 2. Sorry.
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!
