These pancakes are a great alternative for the "original" ones. They taste better and aren't as heavy as the ones I usually make. The majority of the people that ate my pancakes didn't know with what sort of ingredients I used.I got a lot of compliments with my food. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!

Great! I made it with raw yellow squash (pureed with half of the milk that the recipe calls for), then I added it to everything else with the rest of the milk. I thought these tasty healthy and good, hubby thought it needed a little sweetness though. Served with pure maple syrup & a dollop of Earth Balance. Thanks for sharing!

I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them!
I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different.
I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time.
