1. Savory Chickpea and Beetroot Mini Pancakes

Chickpeas and beetroot flavor small savory pancakes. Prepare the oat flour by pulsing gluten-free rolled oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground into a powder-like consistency.

2. Quinoa and Sweet Potato Patties

Quinoa and sweet potato form small patties. If mixture feels too wet, add a small spoon of oats or finely ground gluten-free flour to improve binding.

3. Pumpkin and Chickpea Savory Pancakes with Mild Curry Spice

Pumpkin and chickpeas are mixed into savory pancakes with curry spice. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the steamed pumpkin until smooth.

4. Sweet Potato and Apple Pancake Stacks with Cinnamon Maple Drizzle

Sweet potato and apple pancakes are paired with cinnamon-maple drizzle. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, grated apple, gluten-free flour blend, ground cinnamon, and baking powder.

8. Savory Buckwheat and Carrot Pancakes with Mild Dill

Buckwheat and carrot pancakes are flavored with dill. Gently stir until a smooth, slightly thick but spreadable batter forms.

9. Zucchini and Sweet Corn Pancakes with Mild Oregano

Zucchini and sweetcorn are mixed into small pancakes with oregano. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.

10. Quinoa and Butternut Squash Mini Pancakes with Mild Sage

Choose what to make

Choose beetroot or pumpkin for legume-based pancakes, or compare millet-apple with buckwheat-carrot. Patty mixtures need shaping, while pancake batters are spooned into the pan.
