Spinach & Moong Flour Pancakes with Chickpeas, Avocado & Mint Sauce

Spinach & Moong Flour Pancakes with Chickpeas, Avocado & Mint Sauce

This recipe may seem daunting at first, but this easy to follow recipe can show you that making three elements to one dish doesn’t have to be all too difficult. Make your spinach and moong flour pancakes with a chickpea and avocade topping and finish it all off with a delicious mint sauce.

This is a 20 minute recipe if you make all three elements of the dish: the moong flour pancakes, the fillings & the yoghurt sauce. Packed with flavour, from the heat of the spicy chickpeas to the coolness of the mint yoghurt sauce, these pancakes are deliciously filling.

These pancakes are made with almond milk and moong flour, so they’re both vegan and gluten free – everyone can enjoy them! The spicy chickpea filling is also bursting with flavour from all the various spices including garam masala, coriander & cumin powder (dhana-jeera), red chilli powder and turmeric powder to name a few.

Although there are three elements to this recipe, making the cool mint sauce takes almost no time at all (it only requires 2 ingredients!). Like many of my sauce recipes, you don’t have to spend time finely chopping your ingredients. Simply add your coriander stems and coconut yoghurt to a NutriBullet and blitz your ingredients together.
