blender pancakes

now that most of us are working out and doing some kind of physical activity i would like to share with you a reinvention of the typical pancake. the pancake is made with whole grain kernels of kamut which is an ancient grain, supposedly to have originated in the Fertile Crescent. it has a rich buttery flavor and it has high energy properties. kamut is higher in eight out of nine minerals, contains up to 65 percent more amino acids and boast more protien than that of whole grain wheat. i just tried this recipe last weekend and it tasted great and made me feel great too.
as far as geeting kamut just go to a whole foods store and you will find it in the bulk grain section. i cant stress enough how important it is to get whole grain into your body and this is a easy way to do so. okay enough of trying to get you all to try these pancakes.
Blender Pancakes
in a blender:
1 1/2 cups milk of buttermilk
1 cup of whole grain kernels (kamut)
1/2 cup non-fat dried milk powder
blend on high for 3 min

Add:
1 egg
2 Tbsp veg oil or canola
1 soft banana
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 salt
blend for 1 more min

Add;
1 Tbsp. baking powder
pulse 3 times or just enough to mix.
wait for 10-15min for it to set up then cook on a skillet with butter.

if you cant find kamut let me know and i will send you some. i have a 50lb bag that i am trying to work through.

bon appetit,
jamie
