Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 1 cup rolled oats in a blender and pulse until they reach a fine flour consistency, about 30 seconds.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves, 1 large ripe banana, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green, about 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp coconut oil, swirling to coat the surface.
  4. Step 4: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Step 5: Flip carefully and cook an additional 2 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Repeat with remaining coconut oil and batter.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
