Kimkins Eggplant Pancakes


Are you an eggplant fan? Looking for a low fat high taste variation? Our thanks to Kimkins member, Staci, for sharing this recipe from Dolly Parton's family.

Ingredients (makes 10 pancakes)

1 medium eggplant
2 eggs, beaten
1 green onion (green part only, chopped fine)
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt & pepper

Bake eggplant with water, covered until tender. Peel and remove the seeds. Mash and add eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls on a nonstick pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until golden brown on each side, serve hot.

You might want to experiment with a drizzle of Walden Farms 0 carb maple syrup (careful, it's not really 0 carb so don't go overboard!)

If you prefer a spicier dinner side dish, add 1/2 tsp garlic & onion powder when mixing.
