Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach (finely chopped or blended)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and olive oil (or melted butter).
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped or blended spinach until evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if necessary.
Notes
- You can add cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) to the batter for a cheesy flavor.
- Experiment with fresh herbs like parsley or dill to enhance the flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk.
- For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or diced chili.
