Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)

1/2 cup grated carrot (about 1 medium carrot)

1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 large eggs

1 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, sour cream, or avocado slices

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This helps avoid soggy pancakes.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, whisking to combine well.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

          Add Veggies: Fold in the grated zucchini, carrot, chopped bell pepper, and green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the surface evenly.

              Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each mini pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

                Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve creamy Greek yogurt or sour cream on top or alongside avocado slices.
