After dinner last night, the Husband asked me, “where do you keep coming up with these recipes?” My response? “I’m not sure, but did you like it?” Husband’s response? “Yes!”
You all know how hard I work to get the husband to enjoy good, healthy food. I may or may not still be hiding flax in his cereal…
Anyways, that is neither here nor there. If it is Husband approved, I need to share the recipe with you.
My hunger was really off yesterday — I kind of had a stomachache on and off all day, so I didn’t want anything elaborate for dinner. At first, I was just going to eat some leftover veggies and have a couple pieces of toast with hummus. Then, I decided that was too boring. I wanted something carby — pancakes? Too sweet. Savory Pancakes? I think that might do. Tomato basil pancakes? Good Lord, I think we have a winner.
Tomato Basil Pancakes (yields 8 small’ish pancakes)
-
1/2 cup gluten free flour (bob’s red mill is what I use!)
-
1/2 cup almond milk
-
1 flax egg
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tomato, diced
-
salt, pepper, garlic, and basil to taste
-
Heat a griddle to medium high heat.
-
Combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Add your wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
-
Add the tomato & spices at the end.
-
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour pancakes onto griddle. Wait until pancake begins to bubble on the sides and flip (about 2-3 minutes on each side)
-
Enjoy topped with tomato sauce or hummus!

wow, those sound delicious. how many pancakes did the recipe make?
This made about 8 small’ish pancakes - sorry I forgot to add that!
What a great idea! I love sweet potato pancakes and make them savory. I think you could also do a take on a savory oat pancake. Add some egg and hummus and that sounds like a fantastic recipe!
Awesome idea!! I love to make corn flapjacks and have them instead of bread. I will so have to try yours and start experimenting with other ideas!!
I;ve never had savory pancakes before, but these look delicious! =)
These pancakes look SO good. I’ve NEVER thought of making savory pancakes before. I really love all the recipes you make and I enjoy reading your blog
Never had savory pancakes but your look great! I’m with the husband, where do you get all these amazing recipes and when will my brain start thinking up good ones too??
Never had savory pancakes. But I love tomato and basil!
I think I had savory potato pancakes once but that was it. They were good though! I really do like savory things but I love sweet things a lot more so the savory tends to get neglected a bit.. or a lot.
never ever had a savory pancake. these look great though, your so crafty! your husband is lucky to have such a great cook!
The closest I’ve had to savory pancakes is my mom’s potato pancakes. I bet the tomato/basil combo would be a great addition to them!!
By the way, I tried making your Maple Pumpkin Quinoa granola… SO good!! It’s currently cooling & the house smells awesome! I’m having a hard time staying away from it
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it!!!
I’ve never even thought to make savory pancakes before! But these look amazing. Tomato + basil is such a killer flavour combo!
I agree - I also loved how you spelled “flavour”.
Those puppies look so yummy!! (Right now, however, I’m trying really hard to NOT think it looks a little bit like throw-up in the first picture!)
You should have seen the one I saved for my mom today - it got shmushed in my lunchbox. yuck
would this work with regular whole wheat flour? also whats a flax egg? i know you can sub flax for eggs but i dont know how…
You can use regular WW flour and a regular egg!
However, if you want to try a flax egg, it’s REALLY easy! All you need is ground flax seed meal (which you can find at almost any grocery store) and some warm water. For every flax egg, you’ll want to mix 1 tbsp flax with 3 tbsp warm water. Set aside the bowl that this mixture is in and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. It should thicken up! Then, add it to your recipe like any egg!
Mmm they look really good Chelsey! Awesome idea
You could do soo many different things with this recipe!
Yay to savory pancakes!
My husband loved them as well…how could one not?
I love this idea! I’ve never made savory pancakes, but I love anything with tomatoes and basil so I bet they’re awesome.
By the way, I’m not above hiding healthy food in my husband’s meals either. You’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do…
I love savory pancakes, especially zucchini!
I’ve never had savoury pancakes before… I think I need to change that, stat!
Brilliant idea…I can see some marinara and ricotta on top too!
sounds good!! yum!
This is a really good last-minute dinner idea for me! Since I am always making everyone else’s food first and mine is always an after thought, I will keep this in mind! I even have the Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour. It’s meant to be!
I will FOR SURE be trying these sometime very soon.
