The Pesach Pancakes That Everyone Loves

They’re healthy. They’re tasty. And even your toddler will eat these pancakes.

Desperate for my kids to eat something–anything!–nutritious for breakfast on Pesach mornings, I adapted my favorite healthy-ish pancake recipe for Pesach use and found myself with a total winner: easy, yom-tov-friendly, high-protein pancakes that my kids love. Top with some maple syrup or honey, chopped fruit, or a dollop of yogurt for a treat that will get kids (and adults) out of bed on even the sleepiest chol hamoed morning.

    This was a great recipe. I quadrupled the recipe and the grandchildren loved them. They fought over the last few and I would’ve made more if I had more ingredients. Delicious!

    Was a huge winner on pesach! What should I substitute potato starch for during the year? maybe a healthy idea? would whole wheat flour work well?

      Looks yum. Regarding the Greek yogurt – what flavor ( plain or vanilla)?

    Made this today- they were a huge hit with my especially picky eaters. Used baking powder instead of baking soda and sour cream in place of the Greek yogurt.

    My family is not a fan of cottage cheese. Has anyone tried just doubling the Greek yogurt and leaving out the cheese

    I actually needed to add some extra almond flour but they were a hit! I had to quadruple the recipe to feed the crowd and they were all gone

    I always struggle to find something quick and nutritious during the holiday. These pancakes seem like the perfect solution.

    What are your thoughts on subbing matzah meal for the potato starch?

    I’m a pesach recipe skeptic, but these were actually good. Didn’t even need syrup/jam because they’re moist and sweet.
    I added a pinch of salt and a packet of vanilla sugar and subbed ground walnuts for almond flour and regular plain yogurt for Greek.
    The batter was thin and not the easiest to work with but they formed perfectly.

    To make this year round can I omit the potatoe starch or substitute it for something else?

    These Pesach pancakes sound like one of those simple family recipes that become tradition because everyone looks forward to them every year, especially when a dish manages to be both comforting and easy to make during the holiday. Food posts like this also remind me how creative family activities often go together with cooking and relaxing moments, which is probably why sites like Szinezokvilaga.com feel like a nice fit for quiet holiday afternoons with kids.
