Instructions
Step 1
Start by combining the spinach and milk in a blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth paste.
This will be the base of your pancake batter, adding both flavor and nutrients.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add the beaten egg, sugar, salt, and the previously prepared spinach mixture.
Next, gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until everything is well combined.
Step 3
Drizzle the vegetable oil into the batter and mix until it is fully incorporated.
Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes, which will help improve the texture of your pancakes.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour a small amount of batter into the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size.
Grease with a little more oil if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another minute or two until golden brown.
Step 5
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and keep them covered while you finish the rest of the batter.
These delicious spinach pancakes can be served with yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce!
Servings
Dress them up! Try a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt or a splash of zesty sour cream – the tanginess complements the earthiness of spinach perfectly. Don't forget to drizzle some honey or maple syrup for that sweet touch! 🍯✨
Add some color! Serve alongside sliced avocados, cherry tomatoes, or a fresh garden salad for a vibrant plate that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. 🥗🍅
Make it a meal! These pancakes also shine when paired with crispy bacon or smoked salmon, making them an excellent choice for a brunch spread. The options are endless, so get creative!
Equipment
A good blender is a must for creating a smooth spinach puree. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, a regular one will do the trick – just blend a little longer!



Using a non-stick skillet will help your pancakes slide off easily without sticking. If you don't have one, make sure to grease your pan well.


A medium-sized bowl will be perfect for mixing all the ingredients thoroughly. Feel free to use a whisk for a lighter texture.



A sturdy spatula is essential for flipping your pancakes without breaking them apart.



Variations
Gluten-Free Version: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. This will maintain the pancake’s texture while catering to gluten-sensitive eaters.
Vegan Version: Replace the egg with a mashed banana or 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce to keep your pancakes fluffy and delicious! Use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk instead of regular milk for a fully vegan dish. 🥑🌻

Store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to a day. Give it a good stir before using as it may thicken.
