This weeks recipe is a no brain-er. I have the hardest time finding new snacks and lunch ideas for Ellie. I found myself making too many grilled cheese sandwiches and opening too many cans of lentil soup. I saw a similar recipe to this on a mommy forum and decided to try it out. I found that even I love it! Who would have thought that a savory pancake would taste so good?! That's right a savory pancake.
Yummy Savory pancakes;
What you will need;
- Vegetables of your choice, chopped finely ( about 3/4 cup) We love to use shredded carrots, bell peppers, green onions, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Cheese of your choice ( about 1/2 a cup) We love to use strong cheddar.
- Deli Ham chopped into small pieces ( about 1/2 cup ) or whichever type of meat you prefer, we use nitrate-free deli meat.
- Pancake mix We use Bob's Gluten-free pancake mix, which isn't very sweet to begin with.
1- Satay the vegetables and ham in a pan with a small amount of oil and seasoning to taste, until slightly tender. Set aside.
2- Prepare pancake mix.
3- Add in vegetables and meat mixture, and then cheese.
4- Cook pancakes as instructed.
Serve them with toppings of your choice!
- Butter
- Salsa, guacamole
- Ketchup
- Cottage cheese
- Cream cheese
- Hummus or Tzatziki
Or whatever toppings you see fitting! Enjoy.
These are a great way for me to get vegetables into my daughter without having to threaten bedtime. And who knows how long that will work anyways, HA!

I think I'm going to have to try that pancake for myself! :) I'm sure you know all the well the struggle cooking for 1, and this recipe would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteCute blog and Ellie is adorable!
Thanks Ashley! I forgot to post that they also freeze really well if you have extra! Then all you have to do is re-heat them in a pan when you need a little snack:) I hope all is well with you and your love comes home to you very soon. Hang in there, pretty soon it will feel like it never happened<3
