• 0.75 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and baking powder.

Step 2

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and water to the dry mixture, and whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 3

Stir in the spinach, grated carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions. Mix until the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake, smoothing it out slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to lift.

Step 8

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the second tablespoon of olive oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm, optionally garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt or chopped fresh herbs.
