Ingredients

  • 3 12 cups rolled oats, ground in food processor or blender
  • 4 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 34 cup canola oil
  • 12 cup milk
  • 12 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 egg

Method

  • Place all dry ingredients in your mixer bowl, fitted with a paddle attachment.
  • Drizzle the oil over the dry ingredients while running the mixer on slow speed.
  • When all the oil is incorporated, squeeze a bit of the mixture in your hand.
  • It should just hold together.
  • If it does not hold together, add more oil, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Test after each 1 tablespoon addition until it holds together.
  • Store in the freezer in a freezer bag or other airtight container.
  • To mix the pancakes:.
  • Combine 1 cup of the mix with the milk, yogurt, orange juice, and egg.
  • Let stand for at least 15 minutes.
  • This allows the oats and whole wheat to soften before cooking.
  • You can substitute buttermilk for the milk and yogurt.
  • Preheat your griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Pour the batter in 1/4 cup portions.
  • Cakes are ready to flip when the surface is no longer shiny and little bubbles are starting to form around the edges.
  • approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Cook 1-2 minutes more.
  • This amount of mix makes enough to serve 4 people.
