Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 oz bag frozen veggie medley
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Add the milk, egg, and oil or butter to a medium bowl. Stir together.
  • Gently stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, frozen veggies, and cheese, if using.
  • Warm a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add a sliver of butter or about 1 teaspoon oil to heat for about 1 minute.
  • Portion out pancakes, using about 1/4 cup batter at a time. It should spread flat on its own, but you can also spread it out a little with a spoon if needed.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, waiting to flip them over until they are set around the edges, golden brown, and you see little bubbles on the surface of each.
  • Serve warm with sour cream, Cucumber Sauce, ketchup, or salsa as desired.

Notes

  • Break the frozen veggies apart slightly if they're stuck together in clumps.
  • Stir the veggies while still frozen into the batter.
  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free cup for cup flour instead of whole wheat.
  • Dairy-free: Use plain dairy-free milk, oil (instead of butter), and omit the cheese.
  • Let the pancakes set around the edges and form little bubbles on the surface before you flip them over.
  • Make them ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days and reheat as needed.
  • Freeze cooled pancakes in a freezer storage bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge or warm one by one directly in the microwave.
  • We like to dip these pancakes into sour cream, Cucumber Sauce, ketchup, and salsa.
  • Adults may like their portion topped with a fried egg and/or hot sauce.
