Healthy and Budget-Friendly Savory Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or low-fat milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried herbs (optional: oregano or thyme)
  • Olive oil or nonstick spray (for cooking)

🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  2. Mix wet ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt (or milk), and garlic. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to form a smooth batter.
  3. Add the veggies:
    Fold in the grated carrot, chopped spinach/kale, and onion until evenly distributed.
  4. Cook the pancakes:
    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly oil it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and flatten slightly with a spoon.
  5. Flip and cook:
    Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve:
    Enjoy warm with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of herbs, or your favorite savory dip!
