Multi-Grain Bran Pancake Mix Recipe

Today we had breakfast for lunch. I heart breakfast for any meal. Do you? Kevin voted for a "grain-y" pancake, and I was all over that. I searched my favorite recipe collection--tastykitchen.com--and found just what I was looking for. These pancakes taste like a bran muffin--which both of us love. It uses a fiber cereal and oats, ground, to add a beautiful nutty flavor and texture. 

Aside from the delicious results of this recipe, you are left with a dry mix that can be stored and used later. I keep mine in an airtight container in the pantry, because I'm sure I'll use it up quickly. You can also keep your mix in the fridge or freezer to keep months longer. But I don't think it'll be necessary. :)
