WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

I make this for my kids quite often. Great way to get whole grains in them! Preparing the batter in the food processor makes it that much easier, and smoothes out the batter for those who don't like a grainy texture. Serve with syrup and butter or coconut oil. Also delicious with ricotta cheese and strawberries, and just a drizzle of syrup.
