Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour wholewheat and plain will also work
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 egg or 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup loosely baby spinach chopped finely
- 1/2 cup cubed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup grated cauliflower
- 1/2-3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Oil/cooking spray
- Sriracha/hot sauce/tabasco to serve
- Greek yogurt/sour cream to serve
- Salsa to serve
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, milk and egg (or egg whites) and stir until just combined.
- Add the baby spinach, cubed sweet potato, grated cauliflower, shredded cheese and spices and mix until fully incorporated.
- Coat a frying pan with cooking spray/oil and allow to heat on low until hot. Once hot, add batter 1/4 cup at a time and cover. Once bubbles start to form, flip and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until golden on the outside. Repeat the process until all the batter is cooked.
- Serve pancakes simply with hot sauce/greek yogurt/hot sauce or simply eat as it is!
Notes
Note- I tried this recipe out with several cheeses and found full fat cheddar to work best- the taste was not overpowering (like parmesan was) but mellow (unlike mozzarella). These pancakes also keep really well- I ate leftovers the next day cold simply topped with some cream cheese and hot sauce!
