For the pancakes:

- 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, chopped (about 1 Roma tomato)
- 2–3 cups spinach, chopped
- 2 cups chickpea flour
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8–1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk or water
For the avocado sauce:

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Once hot, add onion; cook for 5 minutes, or until onion begins to soften. Add bell pepper and tomatoes; stir to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach; cook for 1 minute, or until slightly wilted.
- In a large bowl, add chickpea flour, flax meal, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Stir until mixed thoroughly.
- Slowly pour in the milk. Stir to combine, adding more liquid if thinner pancakes are desired. Add the vegetables; stir until just combined.
- Add a little more oil to the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Once hot, scoop 1/4-cup spoonfuls onto the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the sides begin to brown.
