How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 4 handfuls baby spinach
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup plain non-dairy yogurt (preferably Greek-style)
- 1/4 cup vegan protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon moringa powder (optional)
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 the milk and the spinach in a food processor until the milk turns a bright green color. Add in all of the remaining ingredients and pulse until just combined. Avoid over-mixing and let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Step 3: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Melt a little smear of vegan butter or coconut oil. Ladle a small portion of pancake 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 butter and lowering the heat if needed.
- Serve: Enjoy with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Use whatever vegan protein variety you prefer, but 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 flour and adjust the milk as needed to make a pancake batter consistency.
