Calories 101 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup spinach (packed tight)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (or butter)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg (or flax or chia egg, if vegan)
  • 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. To begin, preheat your pan (or griddle) to medium heat. Prepare your food processor with your s-blade inside (or use a high powdered blender).

  2. Add your banana and spinach to your food processor and blend for a minute, or till the mixture is smooth (although you may see small green flecks of spinach throughout). Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and milk, and blend again for another minute. Finally, add your vanilla and egg and pulse the food processor a few times to just barely incorporate the egg.

  3. Scrape the sides down inside your food processor. Now, to the food processor sprinkle in your flour, baking soda and salt. Blend your food processor again for about minute, or till you have a smooth pancake batter.

  4. Check the consistency of your pancake batter. If it's too thick, add another 1-3 tablespoons of milk. If it's too thin, add another tablespoon or so of flour.

  5. Pour your batter with spoonfuls onto your hot pan (or griddle) and cook for a few minutes. Turn when bubbles start to form on top of the pancakes, and cook on the other side again for a few minutes. Repeat till all of your pancakes have been cooked.

  6. Devour!
