Best pancakes ever - and they're whole grain!

These pancakes really are amazing.  The mix is super easy to make and from there it only takes a few minutes to mix up a batch of fresh, healthy pancakes.  And the completed pancakes freeze well- I usually make a batch of 30-40 to freeze, then when we want something healthy and fast for breakfast just pop them in the toaster!

4 cups white whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or additional white whole wheat)
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Grind the oats in a food processor.  Combine all dry ingredients in a mixer and mix on low speed.  While the mixer is running, add the oil slowly.  Store mix in freezer.

To make pancakes:  whisk together 1 cup mix, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon of orange juice.  Let set 15 minutes.  Cook on 325 degree griddle for a couple minutes per side.  I always add blueberries to mine, or chocolate chips on special occasion.
