Whole Wheat and Grits Pancakes

Whole Wheat and Grits Pancakes

Some people love grits and some people hate grits.  But, everyone loves pancakes.  When you combine whole wheat flour and grits, you get a great crunchy texture and a wonderful nutty flavor.  This recipe is really easy and delicious.  Let me know how yours turn out.
Love,

Used stone ground grits that I made in advance, so also omitted the water. Then added a teaspoon of vanilla. Came out great.
