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:
In a pan, place 100 grams washed spinach and heat until wilted. Turn off the heat and let cool.
In a food processor, grind 1 tablespoon flaxseed or chia. Transfer to a small bowl and add 3 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 5 minutes until thicken.
In a blender, pulse the wilted spinach until roughly chopped.
Add in 125 grams whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 flaxseed “egg”, 200 mililiters oat milk, 1 tablespoon sunflower oil plus, and 1 pinch of nutmeg.
Blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender if needed.
Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan or pancake griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Repeat until all the batter is used. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Top with dollops of sour cream, yogurt, or cheese and enjoy!
