Sweet Vegetable Pancakes

Hello! Well, it's been a while since I've posted. Life got busy and my blog got forgotten for a while. Sorry blog! 

These days, I'm still cooking, but things are a little different. These days, I'm usually cooking for a discerning (OK, fussy) toddler! This is one of the recipes we enjoy.



Sweet Vegetable Pancakes

1 cup self-raising wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1/2 a sachet of Macro Organic Sweet Vegetable purée 
1 egg (we prefer to use free-range)
1 tbsp maple syrup (the real stuff, not fake!)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp mixed spice

Add the flour, mixed spice and baking powder to a bowl and gently whisk together. Add the wet ingredients and gently stir to combine until smooth. 

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Cook pancake batter, about a tablespoon serving for each one, for about 1 to 2 minutes before flipping, and cooking for a further minute. Watch them closely as they are more prone to over-cook due to the sweet ingredients. 

Remove when golden and fluffy. Serve. We enjoy ours with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey or smear of chocolate spread.
