Why Choose Healthy Pancakes?
Switching to healthy pancakes doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or fun. By using natural and wholesome ingredients, you can still enjoy your breakfast favorite while supporting your wellness journey. Incorporating vibrant colors with fruits and vegetables not only enhances the visual appeal but also boosts nutritional value.
Essential Ingredients for Healthy Green Pancakes
- Almond Milk: Provides a creamy texture without the extra calories. Any preferred milk choice also works well.
- Ripe Banana: Naturally sweetens the pancakes without the need for added sugars.
- Spinach: Adds vibrant green color and packs a punch of vitamins and minerals.
- Self-Rising Flour: Choose a gluten-free option like Namaste for a healthier alternative.
- Coconut Sugar: A lesser-processed sweetener with a low glycemic index.
- Coconut Oil: A healthier fat option that also helps in cooking the pancakes evenly.
Step-by-Step Preparation
- Blend Nutrients Together: Combine almond milk, egg, banana, and spinach in a blender until smooth.
- Mix and Rest: In a separate bowl, mix flour, coconut sugar, and baking soda. Add the blended mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook to Perfection: Heat a pan over medium-low heat, adding a bit of coconut oil. Pour in the batter, cook until bubbles form, flip, and brown the other side.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stack your pancakes, topping them with coconut yogurt and seasonal fruits for an additional burst of flavor and color.

Healthy Green Pancakes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups Almond Milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 egg
- 1 ripe banana, coarsely chopped
- 3 oz spinach
- 2 cups self-rising flour (I used Namaste)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut yogurt to serve
- 1 cup seasonal fruit, to serve
Instructions
- Place the milk, egg, banana and spinach into a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Combine the flour, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, and add the smoothie mixture. Whisk until well combined and a smooth batter has formed. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to rest.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and brush it with a little coconut oil. Pour ¼ cup (60ml) of the batter into the pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Then flip the pancake and cook for a further 1 minute on the other side, or until lightly coloured. Repeat this process with the remaining batter to make 16 pancakes.
- Divide the pancakes among the serving plates (4 per serving). Top with yogurt and fruit to serve.
