@Emily, I purchase my Multigrain baking & pancake mix from Trader Joe’s. I know that Hodgsons Mills also has a multigrain baking mix that is available in the regular grocery stores.
This looks so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Found you via Pinterest. I was wondering if you knew what the point difference would be if I omitted the nuts?
Since the walnuts are 11 pp+ for the entire recipe, it might drop the points down to 4.
