Breakfast is awesome. Now it is awesome-er. Kernza makes an incredible pancake due to its cake-flour-like attributes; meaning your pancakes will stay soft and fluffy, and you will never have to worry about over mixing the batter. We have two versions for you: If you live with no regrets, try the buttermilk cakes; If you don’t do dairy, try the dairy free cakes! If you really live with no regrets, try both. It is quite challenging to decide which is better. As a bonus, there is a third butter/oil-free recipe included, which can also be found on the back of our Kernza flour packages!
Method
- If using butter or coconut oil, melt on stove top or in the microwave.
- Begin pre heating a non-stick pan or skillet to medium low heat
- In a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together: milks; oil, butter, or coconut oil; and an egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
- Apply a thin layer of oil or butter to the pre heated non-stick pan or skillet.
- Use a ladle or “pour-friendly” container to pour the batter on to the skillet.
- Cook for about four minutes on one side (the edges will start setting; bubbles will form in the middle and eventually start popping).
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional two minutes.
- Eat immediately, or keep warm in a 200 degree oven.

Oops! My mistake. I didn’t see the difference between the buttermilk an the “simple” pancakes. I will make them this weekend—-looking forward to them. Thanks!

Hi.
I received my kernza flour and I plan to make pancakes with it this Sunday. I just noticed, though, that the recipe(s) on the back of the package and the pancake recipe on your web site are quite different. Any explanation?

Hi JB,
No, Kernza contains gluten and is a cousin of wheat. All recipes and products on this website contain gluten.
Thanks,
Christopher

Gluten free?

Hi Jeanne & Joyce – thanks for the feedback! We’ll work on adding a print button in the future, but we have worked on page formatting – if you go to the File menu and select print, it should give you a white background version without pictures. I hope that works as a starting place!
