Ingredients

• Banana: Use a ripe banana as this will be the only source of sweetness.
• Spinach: Use fresh spinach in this recipe, frozen will NOT work great.
• Egg: used to bind the ingredients.
• Cinnamon: I love adding cinnamon to recipes, enhances the flavor and contributes to the natural sweetness of these pancakes. Strongly recommend not to skip.
• Oat flour: If you don’t have oat flour, simply add old fashioned oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until turns into flour.
• Coconut oil: used in the batter and you need a little more to grease the pan.
• Milk: I used regular milk, but you can use almond or even baby formula if you desire.
• Baking powder: to make the pancakes fluffy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• In a bowl, add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder and mix.
• Add the banana, spinach, egg, coconut oil and milk to a blender and blend on medium until smooth.
• Pour blender content into bowl and mix with flour mixture.
• Grease a medium skillet, add the batter, and cook until the sides are firm, and bottoms are golden. Flip and finish cooking.
• Let them cool, serve or freeze for later.

Storage Instructions

These pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, add them to a toaster or microwave.
