Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or coconut oil (plus extra for greasing the pan)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for a savory variation)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Place the fresh spinach and plant-based milk in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Add the spinach mixture, flax egg, olive oil, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the spinach pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as avocado slices, vegan yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
