Instructions
- To a blender add fresh spinach, milk, vanilla extract and mint extract (optional.) Blend the mixture together until it becomes a liquid and the spinach is smooth with no leafy pieces.
- Add honey, olive oil, and egg to the blender Pulse five to six times or gently mix the wet ingredients together.
- In a large bowl combine flour and baking powder and blend until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour the blender into the large bowl. With a whisk quickly blend the batter together well until all lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.
- Heat frying pan on medium heat and melt some of the butter. Working in small batches, use a quarter cup measuring cup to add green spinach pancake batter to hot pan. Add more butter as needed between batches to keep the pancakes from sticking.
