Healthy Spinach Pancakes for Kids

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cups oat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk I use almond milk, but you could substitute any milk here
  • 1/4 cup yogurt for kids under 2, it's recommended you use whole milk yogurt. Always go organic!
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves rinsed

Instructions
 

  • Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
  • Place the banana, egg, milk, yogurt and spinach in a blender or Vitamix and blend until combined (this won't take long).
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Pour onto a griddle or greased pan (use coconut oil or non-stick spray) and cook about 90 seconds on each side (or until slightly browned). My pancakes were about 3-4 inches across, and I got 10 pancakes from the batch. You can definitely make them smaller - just cook slightly less time.
  • Let cool completely and store in the fridge 5 days or the freezer for 4-6 weeks.
