Healthy Spinach Pancakes for a Savory Breakfast
Who says pancakes should be sugary sweet? These are the perfect pancakes when you are craving for something savory, yet still want to eat some pancakes.
Not to mention, these pancakes are packed with some super-food greens like spinach, cilantro and avocado, so you can be sure that your pancake brunch will be full of anti-oxidants.
The best part is you can give these to your kids and ensure they have their daily dose of greens without any problems! My kids LOVED these pancakes!
You can add your toppings of choice and impress your companions!
Healthy Spinach Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 12 oz. ripe mixed-color cherry tomatoes
- 3 1/2 oz. baby spinach
- 3 scallions
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk (reduced-fat)
- 10 oz. cottage cheese
- hot chilli sauce optional
Instructions
- Slice the avocado and quarter the tomatoes, then place in a salad bowl with a quarter of the spinach. Slice, and add the scallions, and add in the cilantro leaves, then squeeze over the lime juice. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss to coat, and put aside.
- In a blender, crack the egg, add the flour, milk, remaining spinach, and a pinch of pepper and blend until a smooth texture.
- Place a large nonstick frying pan on medium heat, add a little olive oil, then pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling it up and around the edges. Cook on one side only for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden, and repeat with the rest.
- Top each pancake with dollops of cottage cheese, the avocado salad, and a few good shakes of chili sauce (optional), or add toppings of your choice.
