SPINACH BABY PANCAKES – BABY LED WEANING

• aktiv tid: 5 minutes
• total tid: 20 minutes

Ingredienser

1 cup packed baby spinach

1/2 cup (120g) whole fat plain Greek yogurt

1 medium egg

1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats

2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts (optional)

Vejledning

Add all the ingredients to food processor/blender

Blend until smooth.

3. Drop batter into the pan.

4. Cook until bubbles start to form and edges begin to appear solid. Flip and cook.

COOKING TIPS

After blending, let the batter sit for 10 minutes or so. This will make it easier to scoop/pour into pan.

The batter is thin so be sure to cook until you start to see bubbles and bottom is firm before flipping over.

If the bottoms start to brown too much before they are set, lower the heat.

Allow to cool COMPLETELY. The pancakes will firm up beautifully as it cools. I’ve also noticed that the yogurt flavor becomes more mellow as it sits.

If you desire a sweeter pancake, do NOT add more applesauce. What I learned is that the unsweetened applesauce + Greek yogurt make the pancakes quite tart. Instead, add 1/2 medium banana, mashed.

Add all the ingredients to food processor/blender minus walnuts and blend until smooth. Stir in walnuts, if using. Let batter sit for 10 minutes.

Heat a pan or griddle over medium to medium-low heat. Coat pan with butter or oil. Drop 1-2 tablespoons of batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles start to form and the edges of the pancake begin to appear solid(about 3 minutes). Carefully flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Serve as is or with topping of choice (see note)
