Skip the salad and make these pancakes instead. They are filled with spinach and sweetened solely with banana. No, you can't taste the spinach. The natural sweetness of the banana masks it!
They are perfect to meal prep for your entire family. You can keep them in the fridge or freezer to have on hand for those busy mornings.
The best part is... all you need is 4 ingredients and a blender!

Ingredient Notes
- old fashioned rolled oats - Use gluten free if necessary.
- bananas - Use spotty-brown bananas! Bananas that are green or yellow won't be sweet enough for this recipe. You will have to add in a sweetener like honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar if your bananas aren't ripe.
- eggs - I have not tried this recipe with a flax or chia egg to tell you if it works. Let us know in the comments if you tried!
- fresh spinach - I always buy baby spinach, but it doesn't really matter since it's getting blended up. I don't recommend using frozen spinach in this recipe. It will make the batter watery.

I just made this for my Sunday morning breakfast and it’s a keeper! I halved it since it’s just me and made 4 small pancakes. Tried it with slightly warmed peanut butter but it definitely benefits from a drizzle of maple syrup. Just terrific!
So happy to hear this, Deb! Thank you for your support. 🙂 – Krista <3

Can you substitute something for banana?
Hi, Shiri! The banana is what masks the spinach taste due to its natural sweetness. I do not recommend substituting.
Ryan

Super interested in making these! Can you use frozen bananas if you don’t have any fresh on hand?
I haven't personally tried so I can't guarantee you will obtain the same texture. Let us know if you try!

I made these for my 13 month old and they taste great. Super easy to make with my ninja blender.
Is it supposed to be a little moist on the inside after they’re cooked? I turned the heat down to low and browned both sides but it still was slightly wet on the inside. Should I add more oats next time? Is it supposed to be dry like traditional pancakes or no?
Thanks!
I found the texture to be similar to regular pancakes. If you follow the measurements and directions, you should be good to go!
