Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach for the green color
  • Whipped cream for serving
  • Maple syrup for serving

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Spinach: In a blender, combine 1/2 cup of fresh spinach with 1 cup of milk and blend until smooth. This will give your pancakes that stunning green color.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat 1 large egg, then add the blended spinach-milk mixture and 2 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps—do not overmix!
  5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a little oil or butter to the skillet to prevent sticking, if desired.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Presentation: Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them high on a serving plate and layer with whipped cream. Drizzle with maple syrup to enhance the sweetness.
