"Although sneaking vegetables into your sweet breakfast dishes may sound... less than appealing... if executed properly, you won't even notice they are there. On the other hand, you can use the vegetable as a highlight ingredient, like you would with carrot cake, zucchini bread, or pumpkin muffins. Vegetables can offer natural sugar, textural improvements, like moisture or chewiness, and sometimes even a pop of color."
"I doubt there is anyone out there that dislikes pancakes. It's essentially grilled-fried cake batter that passes as a breakfast item because of the presentation. There are so many different ways you can make your batter, or top the cakes, that some flavor or another is bound to impress even the biggest breakfast-food critiques. Because they are so scrumptious, it's easy to include veggies in them without creating too much of a stir."
Only one in ten adults reaches recommended fruit and vegetable servings, contributing to poor health. Starting the day with vegetables can increase intake without making meals feel like vegetables. Vegetables can be hidden in sweet breakfasts or featured as the star, providing natural sugars, moisture, chewiness, and color. Examples include carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin muffins. Pancakes accept vegetables well; grate or blend oversized zucchini into batter to retain moisture without altering flavor. Two main approaches exist: conceal vegetables within batter or celebrate them openly as a highlighted ingredient.
