Food should be enjoyable and tasty, and it’s nice when it’s convenient; but in addition, it should be nourishing to your body – something to support your health. Dr. Grandma looked at the ingredients of other pancake mixes in her blog What Brings Morning Smiles Better Than Pancakes? Quite frankly, there is no comparison with Dr. Grandma's Pancakes.

Dr. Grandma’s Pancake & Waffle Mix recipe can be made with 100% Whole Organic Hard Red Spring Wheat – that means no white flour, bleached or unbleached. It’s a real grain that grows on a shaft …… a real wheat plant. Nothing is removed and nothing is added; it’s got all the hundreds of nutrients that grow in organic wheat, no pesticides, and so on.

Dr. G’s Pancake recipe also uses extra-virgin olive oil. No trans fat, which is a by-product of partially hydrogenated oil. If you make Dr. G’s pancakes with  extra-virgin olive oil, or supply your own, there is no hydrogenated oil, partial or not. None at all.

It’s got a little non-fat dry milk (milk with the fat and water removed), baking powder and a little salt and cinnamon. The sodium is 185 mg per serving. So feel free to serve with milk or yogurt and still feel that you’re not going to add to hypertension (high blood pressure.) As I’ve written before, we usually serve with Greek yogurt and pureed defrosted strawberries or other berries (loaded with potassium and many other healthy nutrients.)

Another thing about Dr. Grandma’s pancakes and waffles is that they taste better than any other pancake. We’ve done thousands of samplings over the past 5 years and the tasters rave about the great taste. In addition, Dr. Grandma’s Pancakes/Waffles are perfect for diabetics, who don’t want the white flour and sugar (which quickly is metabolized and raises blood sugar). Thousands of tasters can’t be wrong about Dr. Grandma’s pancakes. I wish I had a picture of little three year old Eryk, holding a leftover pancake to his heart saying, “Mom, I just love these pancakes,” as reported by his mother.

Good Health Can Be Yummy – Start with real whole traditional food! The pictures of today’s pancakes below show you that it's really easy; it only takes a minute to add an egg, the oil  and water to the mix if you make the mix ahead of time; then fry and serve. You can cook like your Grandma; but it will be easy and very nourishing.
