Whole Wheat Pancakes

Recently we have been talking about carbohydrates. The students are learning that out of the 6 oz of grains they need everyday, half of them need to be whole wheat! Well imagine telling junior high kids to eat more whole wheat. That didn't go over too well.

Since I felt the need to prove to my students that whole wheat is NOT the worst thing in the world, we made whole wheat pancakes from scratch. And guess what? They even wanted seconds :)

Get your whole wheat, people! It is SO good for you! Enjoy the recipe below!
