Vegetable Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers (any color)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil or cooking spray for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped bell peppers, and green onions.

2. Mix the Batter: Add the flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. The batter should be thick; if it’s too runny, add a little more flour.

3. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as Greek yogurt, salsa, or avocado slices.

Tips:

• You can add other vegetables like spinach, kale, or corn to customize your pancakes.
• Serve with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
• These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick breakfast.
