Ingredients

  • 145 grams whole wheat flour approx. 1 cup
  • 1 + ¼ cup unsweetened cashew milk or almond or soy milk
  • 1 medium very ripe banana
  • 1 cup baby spinach loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
Optional (But Recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to your blender and process on high speed until pureed.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use an overly ripe banana with plenty of brown spots. Since we're not adding any sugar or sweetener to the pancake batter, a ripe banana is needed for sweetness.
  • Don't use more than 1 cup of spinach. I've tried. ;) Unfortunately, too much will result in soggy middles, so stick to the recipe.
  • Use medium heat (NOT high) and cook your pancakes longer than you would a traditional pancake. These need about 4-5 minutes per side to fully cook through. Using high heat results in cooked outsides but mushy middles.
