Vegetables? Sweet Treats? Eee…

To be honest, whenever I see some sweet desserts with vegetables, then I’m always suspicious. It just doesn’t sound right!? However, when I finally try them, then I’m still amazed. Somehow vegetables such as zucchini, beetroot, sweet potato or butternut pumpkin are always a good idea not only for savory meals but also desserts. They give that extra delicious juicy kick to all the desserts. Trust me!

Don’t notice! Secret!

The best part is that you can eat vegetables without noticing it. Therefore, you can hide them into sweet treats to get some extra texture. Just don’t tell anyone what is inside the pancake! Once they like it, then you can finally reveal your secrets. 😅

If you still don’t feel like experimenting with pumpkin, then I have some banana pancake recipes here and crepes recipe here. Also, I always forget to mention, that now you can find some of my recipes at Side Chef app! Somehow I only shared that news on my Instagram stories. The other day I just used that app and made my crepes. Also, the best part is that it has a VOICE GUIDANCE and you can easily follow the recipe step-by-step by telling the phone “NEXT” or swiping the screen. 🙂
