Blender Spinach Banana Pancakes
Description
This recipe blends whole wheat flour, ripe banana, baby spinach, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and cashew milk into a smooth batter, without any added sugar. The ripeness of the banana provides natural sweetness essential to the flavor. Cooking on medium heat for several minutes per side ensures the pancakes cook through without burning, developing golden brown edges with a soft crumb inside.
The spinach is incorporated finely in the batter, lending mild earthiness and additional nutrients without overpowering. Ground flaxseed adds a slight nuttiness and improves texture while also acting as a binder.
These pancakes can be served with maple syrup and fresh fruit to balance the mild green taste. They work well for a wholesome breakfast offering a blend of flavors and a tender yet substantial texture. The batter can be prepared quickly in a blender for convenience.
Using medium rather than high heat allows the pancakes to cook evenly through and avoid soggy centers. Limiting spinach quantity prevents overly moist batter that might cause undercooked middles.
Ingredients
- 145 grams whole wheat flour approx. 1 cup
- 1 + ¼ cup cashew milk or almond or soy milk, unsweetened
- 1 medium banana very ripe
- 1 cup baby spinach loosely packed
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed ground
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Optional (But Recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your blender and process on high speed until pureed.
- Heat your nonstick griddle to medium heat and pour the batter directly from your blender spout to make pancakes that are approx. 4 inches in diameter.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until several bubbles appear on top and the edges appear set. Then, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana with brown spots to provide enough natural sweetness since no sugar is added.
- Do not exceed 1 cup of spinach to avoid soggy pancake centers.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side to ensure they are fully cooked inside without burning outside.
