Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh spinach, eggs, and plain Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
Add the oats, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and resembles regular pancake batter. If needed, scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, pour small portions of the batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake) onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round pancake shape if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve hot. These pancakes pair well with plain Greek yogurt on top, or enjoy them solo for a satisfying, high-protein meal.
