🥞🌱 Savory Vegan Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chickpea flour (aka besan or gram flour)
- 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed)
- 1/2 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out moisture)
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or chili flakes (optional for spice)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or spray, for cooking
Instructions:
- Mix batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk chickpea flour and water until smooth. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time if it’s too thick — batter should be like pancake batter. - Add veggies & seasonings:
Stir in zucchini, carrot, onion, herbs, and all seasonings. Mix well. - Cook pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and spread slightly.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm:
Enjoy with vegan yogurt, avocado, chutney, or a tangy dipping sauce.
✅ Tips & Variations:
- No chickpea flour? Use oat flour or whole wheat flour, but the texture will differ.
- Add spices like cumin, curry powder, or smoked paprika for variety.
- Turn them into mini pancakes for snacks or meal prep!
