Savory Avocado Pancakes
Herby and loaded with ripe avocado, these fluffy pancakes are best served with crumbly cheese and an over easy egg on top.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup ripe avocado mashed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 green onion sliced thin (green & white parts)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped fine
Optional toppings:
- Fried or poached eggs
- Crumbled cotija or queso fresco
- Fresh cilantro
- Sour cream and salsa
- Avocado slices
Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, mashed avocado, melted butter, and milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
- Gently combine wet ingredients with flour mixture, just until almost combined. Fold in green onion and cilantro.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Once it's hot, melt a little butter onto griddle. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour pancake batter onto hot buttered griddle.
- Cook until first side is golden brown and bubbles are hitting the surface of the batter, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is golden and pancakes are cooked through, another 2-3 minutes.
- If desired, keep pancakes warm in a 200° F oven while you finish cooking all the pancakes.
- Enjoy with your chosen toppings!
