Healthy and Budget-Friendly Savory Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust for consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric or chili flakes (optional for color/flavor)
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions or scallions
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Batter:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, yogurt, water, salt, pepper, and any spices until smooth.
  2. Add Veggies:
    Fold in the grated carrots, spinach, onions, and cheese (if using). Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan and spread gently.
  4. Flip and Cook:
    Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm:
    Enjoy with a side of plain yogurt, salsa, or avocado slices for extra flavor.

💡 Tip: You can add leftover cooked veggies or herbs like cilantro or parsley to enhance flavor and reduce waste!
