Do you know what the carb count is for one pancake? I need to know so my husband can adjust his insulin units.
TIA

  Hi RJ, we don't have that information but you can find the full nutritional panel for our Buckwheat Pancake Mix and Vanilla Protein Powder on our packages. If you'd like to add the additional ingredients (milk, eggs, etc) you could use a recipe calculator with your specific ingredients.

  To calculate the amount of carbs you need to know the volume or mass of "1 scoop of BRM protein powder." That info is not on the protein powder package. The package says 1 serving is 1/3 cup, and the instructions for a protein shake say 2 scoops. Based on the serving info and shake instructions and using a BIG HUGE Assumption: I assumed 1 scoop is 1/6 cup (1/2 of 1/3 cup). So, doing the math for total carbs....
  
  3 cups pancake mix => 370 grams
  3 scoops of protein powder => 28.5 grams
  2.5 cups milk => 30 grams
  
  The recipe yields 8 pancakes.
  
  (370+28.5+30)/8 (with rounding) = 54 grams per pancake
  
  Notice this does NOT include fruit or toppings.

Can the Buckwheat Protein Pancake recipe be made with milk powder instead of protein powder?

  Hi Bea, we haven't tested that. As the recipe already calls for milk, you could just leave out the protein powder altogether and they'd turn out great.

I have Bobs Red Mill 100o/o Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour that my husband brought home. He wants pancakes and waffles made with this. your recipes here only show making these with special mixes that have other ingredients in them. Can you give me a recipe using this whole wheat flour?
