Veggie Pancakes
If your kids have an aversion to vegetables, let them try these Veggie Pancakes and watch them change their tune!
PinMy cousin, Raleigh, emailed me the other day and asked me to come up with a veggie pancake recipe. Sounded like a great idea to me, but would kids eat a vegetable pancake? Only one way to find out. “Kids!!” I decided to make a basic pancake batter, minus the sugar, add julienned vegetables using this box grater and then sauté them until golden. Wow! Kenya, Chloe and Gemma loved them. Even I was shocked at how easy and delicious these were to prepare.
PinI’m always getting asked how to help kids eat their vegetables. This recipe is perfect for that! You can serve Veggie Pancakes for brunch, put them in a lunch box or even to have as a side dish at dinner. You’d be shocked at how quickly they get eaten. Serve them with a side of ketchup and dip away. Get ready to eat the entire batch in one sitting!
PinThis recipe is great because you can use any vegetables you have on hand. In this batch I used carrots and zucchini, but feel free to switch it up! Plus, you could make a double batch and freeze the leftovers. Then once you’re ready for some more just pop them from the freezer into the oven and have them ready super fast!
