Multigrain Pancake Mix

3 ½ c old-fashioned rolled oats

4 c white whole wheat flour

1 c all-purpose flour

3 T sugar

3 T baking powder

1 T salt

1 T baking soda

¾ c vegetable oil

Grind the oats in a food processor until chopped fine but not powdery.  Put the ground oats, flours, and remaining dry ingredients into a mixer with a paddle.  Mix on slow speed, and drizzle the oil slowly into the bowl while the mixer is running.  Store in covered container for months in the fridge or indefinitely in freezer.

To make pancakes, combine:

1 cup mix

2 T all-purpose flour*

1 c buttermilk

1 egg

1 c blueberries (optional)

Let batter stand for 15 minutes, then pour on heated griddle or skillet by ¼ cupfuls.  After 3-4 minutes, check to see if pancakes are golden underneath.  If they are, flip them to brown the other side, about 1-2 minutes.

Makes about 8 pancakes per cup of mix.

*I like thick pancakes, but if you prefer thin ones decrease the flour or omit it entirely.
