Grumpfy's Pancakes

2 cups of a mix of whole grain flours (1 cup whole wheat, 1/2 cup cornmeal and 1/2 rye works well, or buckwheat or whatever works)
3 teaspoons of baking powder
salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups apple or orange juice
1/2 cup oil
1/8-1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Mix flours, baking powder, salt (if using), cinnamon and brown sugar (if using) in a large bowl with a whisk. Mix honey (if using), eggs, juice, oil and almond extract in a small bowl. Combine well. Let batter sit 15 minutes if possible. Adjust thickness of batter to preferences.

Heat griddle and make pancakes. Serve with maple syrup. Makes plenty for 4 or more.

Mix it up with flours and use different combinations. I would keep to using 1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour and using 1/2 to 1/3 of other. Could use wheat germ or rolled oats if desired. Use milk instead of juice.
