Spinach Pancakes are the ultimate fun breakfast twist! These fluffy green pancakes are naturally colored with spinach, kid-approved, and perfect for busy mornings, freezer prep, or even St. Patrick’s Day fun.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the spinach, buttermilk, egg, and oil. Blend until completely smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Pour the spinach mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Pour about 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges begin to set. Flip and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Serve warm with syrup, fruit, yogurt, or favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer Friendly: Freeze cooled pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Warm in the toaster, microwave, or oven until heated through.
  • Bonus Idea: This same batter works perfectly for waffles too!
