Vegetable Pancakes
I know, I know, putting vegetables into pancakes seems like an idea that the kids might hate. BUT if you don’t try to pretend they aren’t there and offer some yummy dips alongside, this is a really fun meal idea! We love these Vegetable Pancakes with sour cream, Cucumber Sauce, and ketchup (my one year old has fancy taste buds, ha!) and I like to make them for lunch or dinner.

Tips for Making the Best Veggie Pancakes
Break the frozen veggies apart slightly if they’re stuck together in clumps. Stir the veggies while still frozen into the batter. To make them gluten-free, use gluten-free cup for cup flour instead of whole wheat. To make them 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.
