Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the grated vegetables, spinach, and onions, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and olive oil.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Repeat until all the batter is used.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm with yogurt, sour cream, or a homemade dip.
Top with avocado slices, poached eggs, or hummus for extra nutrition.
