Sprouts Panwich | Sprouts Pancake Sandwich | Gluten Free and Vegan Pancake Recipe | Lunch Box Recipes by Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms,

Wishing you all a very Happy , Healthy and Prosperous 2019 . 

The schools are re-opening after the winter break this week. Many of you must already be gearing up for the new session. Packing healthy lunch boxes  for your little or the not so little ones are surely on the top of your mind. 

Sprouts are not something that the kids really enjoy. But considering the health benefits of sprouts, I find interesting ways to add it to the weekly menu. Today, I am going share an easy and delicious recipe of sprouts that you can make for your loved ones. 

The recipe is so simple. Grind the sprouts to a smooth batter adding very little water. Make mini pancakes.  Add in your own toppings and  customise the pancake to your child's liking. I added cheese slices and paneer/cottage cheese.

You can add finely chopped carrot, bell pepper, green chilli while grinding the batter if you are making this for bigger kids. You can serve them like open toasts or close them with another pancake and make it a 'Panwich'. 

I sprinkled some dried oregano and chilli flakes on top of the cheese and it added so much flavour to the panwich.

Chef tip : If your child likes melted cheese, you can assemble the panwich on the tava itself. This helps the cheese melt.
