My mom used to make me pancakes EVERY Saturday morning. It went on for so long that I eventually got sick of it and refused to eat any more pancakes....for years. LOTS of years. Like 10 years, seriously. I only recently started ordering and making pancakes again. Now that I'm on this "change my life and eat healthier" bit, I've been finding a lot of cool healthy pancake recipes, and since buying that ginormous Costco sized bag of spinach the other day, I thought sharing spinach pancakes would be appropriate.
I originally found the recipe for these protein packed pancakes on Instagram, but I can't for the life of me remember who I got it from! That being said, I'm just gonna throw out a big thank you into the air for whoever it was. Whenever I buy spinach these days, I always have to make these at least once! This is also usually the recipe I use when the spinach is just starting to wilt/die in the fridge since it has to be blended anyways.

Spinach Protein Pancakes (w/ Blueberry Compote)

Ingredients:
Makes 4 pancakes (5"-6" diameter)
Ingredients:
- 2-2 1/12 C baby spinach
- 6 tbsp liquid egg white (or 2 egg whites)
- 1/2 C old fashioned oats (or oat flour)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 4 packets stevia (or 2 tsp sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 C fat-free plain greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) + additional for topping
- Blueberry Compote (recipe below)
Directions:
- Add all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Oats and spinach should both be well broken down. If you have a Magic Bullet or a small capacity blender like me, you'll have to make half the recipe at a time.
- Heat frying pan or griddle to medium heat. Use cooking spray if you need it.
- Pour 5"-6" pancakes. Cook until edges appear cooked (dry), then flip. Cook each side approx. 2 minutes.
- Top with yogurt and pour blueberry compote over the top, or serve with whatever other toppings you like.
