Simple savoury pancakes

 These pancakes are so very simple and yummy. I threw them together one night when I hadn't prepared anything for dinner and the kids were going crazy. Pancakes themselves are just flour and milk, so I upped the protein content of these with an egg and some ricotta, which helped me feel ok about feeding the kids pancakes for dinner! They were devoured and made the little tummies in our home very happy.

• 1 cup spelt flour – or gluten free flour if necessary
• 1 heaped tsp baking powder
• 2/3 cup oat milk
• 1 egg
• ½ medium zucchini grated
• ½  cup corn kernels, fresh or tinned
• ½ cup smooth ricotta
• A pinch of salt and pepper
•  
  Heat a fry pan on the stove top whilst you make the pancake mix. If your fry pan isn't hot your first pancake will most likely be a flop.
  Mix the dry ingredients together with the milk, egg and ricotta until smooth and there are no lumps. If the mixture is a bit runny add in some extra flour, and if it is a little dry add some extra milk. Add in the zucchini and corn and mix well.
  ​
  Cook each pancake until bubbles form on the surface and then flip over, cooking approx. a further 1 minute.
  I didn’t have any tasty cheese when I made these, but if you do have some this would be a good addition. You can serve them with extra ricotta on top and tomato, with some bacon and mushrooms or even just as they are for a tasty snack.                                                                                                                                                                                          I actually put a small amount of maple syrup on these for my little particular eater and she happily ate them. I don’t recommend this unless you have trouble getting your little ones to eat anything that isn't yogurt, toast or cheese! Anyone with me there? I have one babe who eats everything, and another who is quite the challenge. If I let her eat white rice for every meal she would be mightily happy! 

          These pancakes are perfect for breakfast or a snack too, have them anyway you like.
