Servings 20 2" pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup fresh spinach small handful
- Tiny pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Add avocado, egg, milk, yogurt, and spinach to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and bright green. This ensures there are no spinach pieces for little ones.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and gently stir in flour and baking powder. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly greased pan over low heat. Scoop about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip when bubbles form and the edges look set. Cooking on low heat ensures the inside cooks through without browning too quickly.
- Let pancakes cool completely before cutting into strips or bite-sized pieces.
