Recipe

1. Start by grating up 1 large zucchini with a box grater on top of a clean dishcloth. This will make the next step a lot easier.
2. Once the zucchini has been grated, take it to the sink and squeeze out as much of the water as possible. You can also use cheesecloth for this process.
3. After you’ve extracted as much water from the zucchini as possible, leave it to the side.
4. In a medium-size bowl, crack in two eggs and beat them. Add the zucchini into the egg bowl, along with about 3 tablespoons worth of any type of onion, whether that’s red, green, or even chives. For extra color and flavor, you can add in half a diced red bell pepper.
5. In a separate bowl, add in 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
6. Combine dry into the wet until a medium-thick batter forms, adding more flour if necessary.
7. Heat up vegetable oil in a skillet, scoop out the pancakes and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
8. Dab with paper towels to remove excess oil and enjoy!

What might not be so obvious is that cheese isn’t necessary to make a tasty pizza. Some people might have to avoid cheese for reasons such as veganism, lactose intolerance, or a simple aversion to its taste.

Luckily, there are ways to enjoy this classic food without even a bit of cheese.

One way to easily avoid cheese is to skip the tomato sauce and instead use a savory garlic and olive oil base as the cornerstone of your pizza. On top of this, it’s possible to use a wide variety of vegetables, both raw and sauteed, to give your pizza its finishing touch.

If you like the tomato sauce on a traditional pizza but you either can’t or prefer not to eat cheese? There’s no need to fret, because it’s easy to creatively design pies with tomato sauce but without cheese.

Adding pesto to a tomato base is a surefire way to add richness and flavor to a cheeseless pizza. 

You can also try cheese substitutes as a way to add the creamy, savory texture of the real thing to pizza. Cashew cheese is a vegan cheese alternative that uses the cashew nut as its base. Many recipes exist, and it’s just as good, if not better, than the real thing.

Don’t let cheese be an impediment to enjoying a flavorful pie, because it’s certainly possible to do so with just a little bit of ingenuity in your kitchen.

Ingredients

The basic ingredients for the pancakes are a very soft banana, 1 egg, and gluten-free oat flour. For the flour, all you need to do is put gluten-free oats in a blender and blitz until it’s a fine powder.

Method

1. Mash the banana until it’s completely soft.
2. Add in an egg and mix until well combined.
3. If you want the flavor to really come alive, add some cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. You can also add cocoa powder if you want something really decadent.
4. Mix everything together if you’re adding the extras.
5. Then, add in the oat flour until the batter comes together. Make sure it’s thicker than regular pancake batter, about the consistency of muffin dough.
6. Put some coconut oil in a pan. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and fry 3-4 at a time.
7. Cook until golden brown on each side.
8. Top with jam or maple syrup.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a good milk alternative to start with because most people already have it in their homes, and it can be used in a multitude of ways. The coconut oil gives coffee a creamy richness that you’ll love, but don’t go crazy with it! Start by adding a couple of teaspoons to your coffee at first, because the oil is a laxative, and doubly so in conjunction with coffee at first, but then gradually you can make your way up to using 1-2 tablespoons.

Oat Milk

Oat milk is another great alternative, especially for people that are nut-free. You can also easily make this at home if you don’t want to go for storebought. Simply blend oats with water, a pinch of salt, and a bit of vanilla or sugar if you want to add sweetness. Strain it and add it to your coffee for up to a week!
