These banana spinach pancakes are a healthy and delicious way to start your day. They are naturally sweet from the banana and subtly flavored with spinach, making them a great option for a nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking oil or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the mashed banana, spinach, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and no spinach pieces are visible.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled or buttered griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
  • For a boost of protein, add a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
  • These pancakes can be frozen for later. Place cooled pancakes in an airtight container or freezer bag with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
