Healthy Green Spinach Pancakes

Recipe Description

Green Spinach Pancakes is a great recipe for your next St. Patrick’s Day celebration table. As these pancakes have a green color, which is considered the traditional color for this holiday, they will definitely create a festive atmosphere.

The base of this recipe is spinach. Spinach is healthy and full of nutrients, and it’s a genius alternative to food coloring. This savory pancake recipe is also sugar-free and uses only plant-based ingredients. If you follow a vegan diet, you may want to choose vegan sour cream or cheese for your toppings. I also like to scatter chopped spring onions over the top for adding a decorative touch and flavor.

To make these Green Spinach Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
