Our Favorite Whole Grain Pumpkin Recipes

So it's that time of year when we all have pumpkin on the brain, so we thought it would be fun to share a few of our favorite whole grain pumpkin recipes from over the years.

This Whole Grain Pumpkin Cake is one of the most moist whole grain cakes you'll ever taste!  It's made with our stone ground Hard Red Whole Wheat and Barley Flours.  If pumpkin pie isn't your jam, than you might want to give this delicious cake a try!

These Pumpkin Multigrain Pancakes will take your breakfast up a notch with a real seasonal flair!  Made with our awesome Multigrain Pancake Mix, you'll go gaga for these hearty (and pretty healthy) pancakes.

I don't know a single kid who'd turn down a Iced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie! The best of all three worlds...pumpkin, chocolate chips and glaze/frosting, and they'll make you feel good about giving your kids halfway healthy cookies when they're made with our Whole Grain Cookie Mix.  ;)

Multigrain Onion Rings

Multi-what?  Yes, multigrain onion rings.  Did you know you could make onion rings using Joseph's Grainery Pancake Mix as the batter?

Our whole family pitches in around Joseph's Grainery whenever the opportunity arises, so when when Eric made onion rings using our Multigrain Pancake Mix, we were all excited to taste test for him.  We definitely weren't disappointed.  The multigrain onion rings were amazing!

Huckleberry Multigrain Pancakes

We just returned from a week at one of our favorite places - Priest Lake, Idaho.  Besides swimming in the lake and playing on the beach, guess what else we like to do while we visit each Summer?  Eat huckleberries, lots and lots of huckleberries.  This year Dad taught me how to tell if they are ripe enough to eat, so I was always on the look out for huckleberries.

One tradition we have while at the cabin is making Huckleberry Pancakes.  This year we made Huckleberry Multigrain Pancakes with Joseph's Grainery Multigrain Pancake Mix and were they ever good, so we thought you might like to try them too...that is, if you're lucky enough to have some huckleberries.

All you have to do is follow the directions on your bag of Joseph's Grainery Multigrain Pancake Mix.  Before you flip the pancakes you'll drop the berries into the batter as it's cooking on the griddle, as seen in the photo below.

Huckleberry Multigrain Pancakes in the making.

Once the pancakes are ready to flip, do so and continue on as you normally would.  Serve with some butter and syrup.  Savor every bite!

Cream Cheese Stuffed Whole Grain Waffles

Whole Grain Cinnamon Waffles Stuffed with Cream Cheese and Smothered with Syrup

On their own, our Joseph's Grainery Whole Grain Pancake Mix makes fantastic regular waffles.  MaMa's gone and outdone herself again and tucked a fun surprise inside these delicious whole grain waffles.  She says that Cream Cheese Stuffed Whole Grain Cinnamon Waffles would be the perfect thing to serve your valentine for breakfast in bed tomorrow.  ;)

Ingredients for Whole Grain Cinnamon Waffles stuffed with Cream Cheese:

2 c Joseph's Grainery Whole Grain Pancake Mix
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c milk
2 eggs
2 Tbs oil

4 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 1/2 Tbs sugar

Directions:  Plug in and turn on your waffle iron.  Prepare the pancake mix, by combining the mix, cinnamon, milk, eggs and oil.  In a seperate bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sugar.  Pour about half of amount of waffle batter that you'd typically pour on your waffle iron.  Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter.

Pour the other half of the batter that you'd typically add, covering the cream cheese.  Close the waffle iron and let it cook.

Let the waffle iron do it's thing, once they are done, smother the waffles with syrup and enjoy!

We got our inspiration for this post from a recipe we saw on Cheeky Kitchen.

Multigrain Pancakes with Fruit Compote

Joseph's Grainery Multigrain Pancakes smothered with a nut cream and fruit compote.

We love us some Multigrain Pancakes around here, so when MaMa's friend Michelle brought us some fruit compote and a nut cream and suggested we try them on top of pancakes made with our mix, we got pretty excited.  It was delicious!  All we did was make our Multigrain Pancakes as directed on the packaging. Michelle was kind enough to share her recipes for the compote and nut cream, so here they are...

What an amazing way to start your day...multigrain pancakes and wonderful fruit and nut flavors.

Ingredients

Ingredients for Fruit Compote:

• 5-6 pieces of fruit (apples, pears, etc)
• 2 c of dried fruit (raisins, figs, peaches, etc)
• 2 c apple sauce
• cinnamon to taste

Ingredients for Nut Cream:

• 3 1/2 c walnuts
• 1/2 c maple syrup
• 1/4 c water
• 2 Tbs cocoa powder (optional, but we like it!)

Instructions

Follow Multigrain Pancake Mix package instructions.

Directions for Fruit Compote:

• Cut up the fruit in big chunks and put in a sauce pan. Add the dried fruit and apple sauce. Bring to a boil. Simmer until the mixture starts to break down, about 20 minutes. Serve warm from the stove or store in fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Directions for Nut Spread:

• Place walnuts in a blender with the maple syrup and water. Blend for 2 minutes until smooth. Try to add as little water as possible to keep it thick, unless you want it more like a sauce. Store in fridge. We've also been putting this on our toasted artisan bread, and oh, it's good!
