Ingredients

    2 cups cooked spaghetti squash (can be anywhere between 1/2 and a full squash)
    1/2 cup minced onion
    3 eggs, beaten -- you may need a 4th.
    1 tbsp. flax meal
    1/4 cup flour (we used a combination of bread flour and coconut flour)
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 tbsp. butter, for the pan

Tips

The easiest way to cook a spaghetti squash? Microwave it! Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then half those lengthwise again. Arrange in a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 6-8 minutes, or until the squash is easily shredded with a fork.


Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl, starting with just three eggs. If the batter is too thick or dry (it should look be fairly loose), add the last egg.

Set a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp. butter in the pan.

Use a 1/4 cup scoop to dole out the batter onto the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and completely set.

Serve with sour cream and chives or your favorite savory chutney.

Serving Size: Makes 8-10 pancakes (a serving is 2 pancakes)
