I can't live without bread, pancake, rice, and etc. However, I'm also health conscious. Therefore, for me, the best alternative is to buy organic groceries and to introduce a lot of fibers in my diet. So far, I found that Bob's Red Mill Organic products offer good qualities without sacrificing tastes.
I live in Oregon but too lazy to drive to Bob's Red Mill store. Most grocery stores don't carry all the stuff I want. I found it's a steal with Amazon's sale price plus its free shipping.
I wish Amazon would also carry Bob's Red Mill's Wheat Germ.

I wondered how corn meal pancakes would taste with syrup and berries, which is the way I like to eat them, but these were delicious! They just had a nice, light "corny" taste, and I knew I was eating healthy organic grains at breakfast. I'm a fan of most anything "Bob's Red Mill" and these did not disappoint!

pros - high quality healthy product. good value for money. tastes good.
Good quantity, using 1 cup flour for 1 person, I get 4-5 pancakes. So from 1 packet, I think, you can get 5-6 cups of flour
for me works best with fat-free milk or soy milk. I serve with maple syrup or sauteed veggies(spinach, baby corn, potato and chives, black pepper and garlic)
cons - since this is a very healthy product, it can get a little boring after a while, I tried adding pureed strawberries to the batter, didn't work too good, so don't try that, try to serve blueberry sauce on the side instead.

This lasted no time at all for me. I mixed small batches in a microwaveable mixing bowl with just water added, and stuck the bowl in the microwave for 10 minutes to get warm "fat-free" cornbread. Sometimes dumped a can of peaches over it after cooking. Or chili or soup. Ordering 2 this time ;-).

We had these pancakes over the weekend and really enjoyed the freshness and the taste. Seemed to be the underdog compared to their multigrain and high fiber versions. I will try those too, but we really enjoyed this mix and glad we bought it.

I was hoping that we would like this product more, however we just can't get over the texture. We found that it was easy to mix and made somewhat flat pancakes (we really like fluffy) Overall - I'd suggest buying one pack at your local store before springing for a pack of 4. On the other hand, the birds seem to LOVE this mix so I've been delighted to see them outside my window :)

Ingredients

organic whole wheat pastry flour, organic whole grain corn flour, organic wheat gluten, organic evaporated cane juice sugar, baking powder (monocalcium phosphate, bicarbonate of soda, cornstarch), sea salt.

Pancakes

Blend 1 cup mix, 1 egg, 1 Tbsp. oil and 3/4 cup cold water. Mix just until blended. Cook on preheated griddle at medium heat. Flip the pancakes when edges begin to brown and bubbles show in the center.

Waffles

Blend 1 cup mix, 2 egs, 2 Tbsp. oil and 3/4 cup cold water. Mix just until blended. Spray or brush oil on your waffle iron and heat up well. Pour enough batter to cover the lower cooking surface. Close lid. Wait a few minutes before checking to see if waffle is ready, unless otherwise indicated by your waffle iron.

Note: for extra fluffy pancakes or waffles, replace cold water with cow or soy milk.

I have always made my own pancake and waffle mix; no pre-made stuff for me!! I tried this mix and not one person really liked it. It is a heavy, cornmeal floury taste. Back to my own recipe.

the first shipment of this mix was excellent and we used it all, but the second shipment must have been old because it had a flat, sort of rancid taste. i wound up throwing most of it away, which i can't afford to do. i love bob red mill products but i think i'll shop around for it at the local health food store where it will be more likely to be fresh.

This is good stuff. Easy to make, we add real vanilla and almond extract - completes the flavor.Healthy and very tasty.This product has past the picky eaters test in my house.To balance textures and flavor we like to mix it with B.R.M's
7 grain flour pancake & waffle mix. So you'll have a nice rise and some corn crunch at the same time -YUM.
