• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, use vegan cheese for dairy-free)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (for breakfast oat bowl)
• 1 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Fresh fruits like berries, banana slices, or mango
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1 cup cooked quinoa (optional for power bowls)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Salt, pepper, and lemon juice for seasoning avocado toast
• Whole grain bread slices (preferably toasted)

Equipment

• Non-stick skillet or frying pan
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Grater (for zucchini)
• Spatula
• Blender or food processor (optional for smoothie bowls)
• Oven or toaster (for toasting bread)
• Small saucepan (for cooking oats or quinoa)

Instructions

1. Prepare the savory chickpea pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add 1 cup of water gradually until you have a smooth batter with the consistency of pancake batter.
2. Add the veggies: Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped onion, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
3. Cook the pancakes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat until all batter is used, adding more oil if needed.
4. Make the oat breakfast bowl: In a small saucepan, bring almond milk to a gentle boil. Add the rolled oats and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and maple syrup.
5. Assemble the oat bowl: Transfer oats to a bowl and top with fresh fruits and chopped nuts for added texture and sweetness.
6. Prepare avocado toast: Toast whole grain bread slices until crisp. Mash avocado with a fork, season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spread the avocado mixture generously on the toasted bread.
7. Optional power bowl: Combine cooked quinoa with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil for a protein-rich start to your day.
8. Serve immediately: Plate the chickpea pancakes alongside the oat bowl and avocado toast for a colorful, nutritious breakfast spread.

Tips & Variations

“Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand — bell peppers, mushrooms, or kale work beautifully in the chickpea pancakes!”

You can make these recipes vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, mixed and set for 5 minutes). For a gluten-free option, ensure the oats and bread are certified gluten-free.

To boost protein, add a dollop of Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt) to the oat bowl, or sprinkle hemp seeds on top. For spice lovers, a pinch of red chili flakes or smoked paprika in the batter adds a lovely kick.

Try drizzling your avocado toast with balsamic glaze or topping with sliced radishes and microgreens for an extra fresh crunch.
