Dinner Pancakes – If you’re looking for an easy dinner meal, then you must try these Savory Dinner Pancakes. They are pretty hard to beat! I can make the batter in advance or I can whip them up at the last minute without having to think about thawing anything early in the day.

Make These Savory Dinner Pancakes in a Pinch

I almost always have all of the ingredients in the house, which means no last-minute grocery runs. And they are perfect for vegetarian meal to add into the weekly dinner rotation.

If you have our Clean Cuisine book then you know I am always looking for creative ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into as many different recipes as possible. Dinner pancakes are actually the perfect recipe for sneaking in a serving or two of vegetables.

Eat Your Vegetables (or Sneak Them Into Dinner Pancakes)

It is super easy to work vegetables into a dinner pancake recipe long as you cook and soften the vegetables a bit at first. Once softened, I then transfer the vegetables to a high speed blender and puree with the rest of the batter.

Not only do vegetables give a serious nutritional boost, they also add a delicious savory flavor to just about any pancake recipe. For this recipe, I use sauteed carrots. But, you can also use thawed peas, pumpkin puree, sweet potato or even eggplant.

As for toppings and sides, I like to serve savory pancakes with a dollop of nut cheese (Kite Hill almond cheese is especially tasty), kimchi and chopped fresh herbs. I add a simple side salad and maybe a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and dinner is done!

Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, like this one, divided
1/2 cup shredded carrots
3 organic eggs
1 cup hemp milk or other nut milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup gluten free flour, like this one from King Arthur
1 1/2 cups cooked short grain brown rice
1/4 teaspoon unrefined sea salt

Instructions

Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat; add the carrots and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, or until carrots are soft. Set sauteed carrots aside.
In a high speed blender, add the eggs, hemp milk, baking powder, remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, spelt flour, rice and salt; process on high speed until ingredients are well blended. Add the sauteed carrots to the blender container and process again until batter is smooth and creamy.
Wipe a thin layer of oil over the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 cup batter to the skillet and cook until small holes appear on the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the second side for another 2 minutes. Don’t pat them down or turn a second time. Repeat with the remaining batter.
