Green Pancakes- Gluten Free Dairy Free

One of my main goals in life is to give my children veggies for breakfast. 

Lucky kids, right?!


I don't try to hide the veggies or trick them into eating them.  We unabashedly proclaim our love for veggies and have discussions regularly about how veggies make you strong, healthy and smart and sugar makes you sick, weak, and wimpy. 

They LOVE these green pancakes!  
This day I made a simply plum syrup by cooking up whole plums (skin on) and mixing it with a teeny bit of syrup. Yum! 

Green Pancakes
1 1/2 c. of quinoa flakes or buckwheat cereal or groats (use oats if you can tolerate them. We can not.)
9 eggs 
3 heaping cups of spinach leaves
3 ripe bananas 
3 tbsp. water
4-5 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon 
1 tsp. vanilla 

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Cook on greased griddle until browned and cooked through.  
*Like many flourless pancakes these do better if you keep the size of them smaller. 


Some times we want Monster Pancakes! 

Add blueberry's for an extra kick of nutrition and to make cool looking Monster Pancakes (purple and green):
