Ingredients

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1 cup mashed overripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
- 2-3 pitted dates
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or avocado oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups baby spinach
Instructions
- Place the oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a high-speed blender. Blend until the oats turn into a fine powder, then transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and set it aside.
- Next, add the eggs, milk, banana, dates, oil, vanilla, and spinach to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth..
- Return the oat mixture to the blender, and blend everything together until the batter is smooth and well-combined. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, refer to the tips mentioned above.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 2 heaping tablespoons of pancake batter per pancake into the pan.
- Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings. If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to a month!
