Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup chickpea flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Gradually add 1 cup water while whisking until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1 minced garlic clove until evenly distributed.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  4. Step 4: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more olive oil as needed.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm with a drizzle of extra olive oil or a side of yogurt for a filling gluten-free meal.
