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)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2
Place the fresh spinach and plant-based milk in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden on the other side.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve the spinach pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as avocado slices, vegan yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
