Yes, you read it right - I used avocado to make pancakes. Avocados are very versatile and can be used for so much more than guacamole. Try these pancakes. I've included a few suggestions for substitutions to make them user-friendly with what you may already have in your pantry.

Ingredients

1 - ripe avocado
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup raw sugar
2 - eggs, beaten
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup raw oat bran
1 cup self-rising cornmeal or cornbread mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup milk or substitute (almond, soy, etc.)

How To Make avocado griddle cakes

Step 1

Mash the avocado well with the orange juice. Beat in the sugar and the eggs.

Step 2

Combine the dry ingredients well. Stir into liquid ingredients.
Step 3

Add milk in 3 parts, beating until pancake-batter consistency is reached. It may take more or less milk to get the consistency desired. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4

Preheat a greased or nonstick griddle over medium heat. Cook griddle cakes (1/4 cup amount each) about 3-4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. As batter may thicken on standing, add more milk as necessary.
Step 5

NOTE: Self-rising flour may be used to replace all or part of the cornmeal if desired. Also, the addition of the flax and oat bran is my own personal preference for a healthy mix. You may substitute equal amounts of flour or cornmeal if desired.
Step 6

We ate these with butter and maple syrup for breakfast. You could omit the cinnamon and replace it with chili powder, serving these as savory breads with chili or another Mexican-style dish.
