Method
-
In a blender, add the chopped vegetables and pulse until very finely chopped.
-
To this add the milk, egg and vanilla, and pulse until blended and mixture is combined. The mixture will appear thick, this is ok.
-
In a large bowl add all your dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
-
Add the wet vegetable mix into the dry flour mix and stir until just combined. It's important not to over stir your batter as it makes the pancakes tough.
-
Heat a frying pan or grid on a steady medium heat. Add a little butter once hot, and spoon a large scoop of batter into the pan.
-
Cook the batter until bubbles form around the pancake, and the edges slightly change colour, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the reverse side.
-
Repeat until all the batter is finished. Serve with honey or maple syrup as desired.
