I've long been a fan of Laura Wright's beautiful blog, The First Mess. Her recipes always speak to me at just the time I seem to need them: crisp, seasonal salad? Please. Hearty soup for a tough week ahead? Thank you. Dirty Chai Pancakes? Apparently: yes! If you stroll into a coffee shop and order a dirty chai, out will come a creamy, spicy chai with a shot (or two) of espresso. While many folks flock to Pumpkin Spice Latte-land in the fall, I've long been a Dirty Chai gal, so I was struck with a sense of pure genius when I saw that Laura had taken those warm flavors and folded them into pancake batter.
The pancakes themselves are a whole-grain recipe largely relying on spelt flour, and they're topped with a homemade cranberry compote. They're fluffier than any whole-grain pancake I've laid eyes on. Laura describes them as right up her alley. I'd have to agree.

When you think about whole grains at the breakfast table, you probably think of oatmeal first, most likely followed by granola or muesli. These are a few of the more common whole grain morning recipes most of us reach for. But for the cooler mornings ahead, a warm hearty breakfast is in order. For us, that includes pancakes, waffles and crepes.
