- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix for approximately 30 seconds until the ingredients are combined. The batter will be lumpy.

- Add the batter to the pan in approximately ¼ cup scoops.

Notes
- Make sure to use a green gel food coloring to get a vibrant green coloring for the pancakes. Also, you don’t want them to get too browned or you won’t see the green color so watch them closely while they are cooking.
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
