Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 cup bell peppers, diced (mix of red, yellow, and green)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

How to Make Colorful Veggie Pancake Stack

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the diced bell peppers and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. To assemble, layer pancakes with the remaining cheddar cheese in between each pancake. You can place them in the oven on low heat to melt the cheese slightly.
10. Serve warm with your desired toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
• Adjust the heat as necessary while cooking to avoid burning the pancakes.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or onions for extra flavor.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or feta for a different flavor profile.
• Try using whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
• Add herbs like chives or parsley to the batter for an aromatic touch.
• Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a side of salsa for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A drizzle of maple syrup for those who enjoy a sweet touch.
• Smoothies made with spinach and banana for a nutrient boost.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier breakfast option.
