- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and olive oil, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and grated cheese, if using.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as yogurt, avocado, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more flour or milk as needed.
- The pancakes can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.
- Experiment with different herbs or spices for added flavor.
