A hot open-face sandwich is always a welcome meal, especially on a chilly evening. The ”bread” for this saucy sandwich is a savory pancake that goes from the skillet to the plate. Note that this recipe is gluten-free if you make sure to purchase certified gluten-free oat flour.

Herbed Savory Pancakes with Sauteed Spinach

By Darshana Thacker,

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sorghum flour
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons cashew flour or almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds or flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon regular or sodium-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cups thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 8 cups fresh baby spinach
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cups oil-free marinara sauce, warmed

Instructions

  1. For pancakes, in a large bowl stir together the first 10 ingredients (through baking soda) and a generous pinch of salt; make a well in center. Add vinegar and 1½ cups water; stir gently until well blended.
  2. Heat a griddle or extra-large nonstick skillet over medium until a few drops of water jump and sizzle. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes 5 to 7 minutes or until edges are dry and bottoms are crisp and lightly browned. Flip pancakes and cook about 5 minutes more or until golden. (If batter gets too thick while it sits, stir in 1 to 2 Tbsp. water until pourable consistency.)
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and garlic; reduce heat to medium. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until mushrooms brown and release moisture. Continue cooking until liquid evaporates. Add spinach; cook and toss about 5 minutes or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve pancakes topped with spinach mixture and marinara sauce.

Can I make the batter the day before, refrigerate it, and then make the pancakes the following evening for dinner?
