Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 3 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.
In a blender or food processor, add the spinach, eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and blend until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the spinach mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is well combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb the liquid.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil to coat the pan.
Using a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and fully set.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the spinach pancakes warm, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
