Shopping List
- 4 cups raw spinach
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup plain non-dairy yogurt
- 3 eggs
- 33333333/100000000 cup tapioca flour
- 33333333/100000000 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup of paleo protein powder (Note 1)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- butter or coconut oil, for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a baking sheet in the warm oven (this is where we'll store our cooked pancakes so that they stay warm and soft).
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until just combined. The batter will be a vibrant green color. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
- Step 3: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt a little smear of butter or coconut oil in the pan. Ladle a small portion of batter onto the warm skillet, leaving a couple of inches around each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more on the other side.
- Step 4: Place the cooked pancakes in the oven. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more oil and lowering the heat if needed.
- Serve: Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Pumpkinseed, hemp, collagen, or egg white protein powder can all be used for these pancakes. Remember that every protein powder absorbs liquid differently, so you may need to tweak the ingredients slightly. If you would rather not use protein powder, substitute with an equal amount of additional paleo all-purpose flour blend.
