Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a blender, combine the spinach, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, flour, sugar, and salt. Make sure the spinach is well incorporated for a smooth texture.

Blend the mixture until it reaches a uniform consistency. Use short bursts to ensure everything is evenly mixed and avoid over-blending.

Your pancake batter is now ready to cook!

Step 2

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil if necessary. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan, ensuring the pancake is of your desired size.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until it becomes golden brown.

Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.

Step 3

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your vibrant green pancakes warm, accompanied by your choice of sour cream, savory fish, or fresh berries. They are not only visually appealing but also deliciously versatile!

Enjoy this unique twist on traditional pancakes with family and friends!

Faq

  • What if my batter is too thick?

    If your batter appears too thick, add a little more milk to loosen it up. A smoother batter yields lighter pancakes!

  • Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

    Absolutely! Fresh spinach can be blended directly into the mixture. Just make sure to wash it properly before use.

  • What’s a good topping for green pancakes?

    Besides sour cream and berries, try Greek yogurt with honey or even a savory topping like smoked salmon for a fantastic brunch option!

  • How can I store leftover pancakes?

    Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving.

  • Can I freeze these pancakes?

    Yes! These pancakes freeze well. Just separate each pancake with parchment paper and place them in a freezer-safe bag.

  • Is it possible to add different flavors to the batter?

    Definitely! You can experiment with different herbs or spices like garlic powder, or add a pinch of grated cheese for a savory kick!
