Banana Spinach Pancakes
Vibrant green banana spinach pancakes that are made in a blender. Perfect for picky eaters and celebrating St. Patrick's Day! These pancakes get their natural sweetness from ripe bananas which makes them a low food waste recipe too.
Ingredients
- 120 g Greek yogurt
- 2 bananas (small ones, around 200 g)
- 2 eggs (M size)
- 30 g butter (melted)
- 80 g spinach (fresh)
- 150 g whole spelt flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ⅓ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- additional butter or oil (for baking)
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine Greek yogurt, spinach leaves, overripe bananas, eggs, and melted butter. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add dry ingredients: whole spelt flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger powder, and stir to combine.
- Add dry ingredients to a blender and blend again until fully incorporated. 30 sec should be enough. Transfer the batter to a bowl and let rest for 5 min.
- Using a cookie scoop, pour small rounds of batter onto the pan. Bake for 1,5-2 min in total; you’ll know the pancake is ready to be flipped when the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface.
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings like honey, yogurt, chia jam, or nut butter.
Notes
- Pancake batter that has whole grain flour in it can burn easily, so these pancakes need some extra time to be fully cooked through, on medium-low heat. If you're in a hurry, use 2 skillets.
