These Green Smoothie Pancakes make for the perfect weekend breakfast or brunch. Fluffy, soft, and nutritious made with wholesome ingredients. Gluten-free flours, baby spinach, banana, and applesauce. They're absolutely delicious and super healthy.
Add banana, baby spinach, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and unsweetened almond milk to a blender and blend for about 40-60 seconds until smooth conistency is reached. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, crack eggs into it, add in applesauce and melted coconut oil. Give it a quick whisk. Add in green smoothie and continue to whisk until wet ingredients are mixed together.
Add in tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder, and pink sea salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are well blended together and batter has been formed. Make sure there aren't any traces of flour streaks left.
Lightly grease pan or griddle with coconut oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Measure about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter at a time and pour on to heated griddle or pan. Cook pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on first side. Gently and slowly stick a spatula under pancake. If it smoothly goes through without getting stuck, it means that the pancake has cooked on that side and is ready to be flipped. Flip over and cook second side of pancake for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat until all pancake batter is cooked through.
Place cooked pancakes on a cooling rack and keep warm. Serve pancakes while they're still warm and top with banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup; or any other favorite toppings. Keep any leftover pancakes refrigerated for up to 3-5 days.
Pancakes are great to make ahead and store in the fridge or freezer for the week ahead. Store your pancakes in a silicone bag as it helps them stay fresh for up to 3-5 days. Freeze in a silicone bag to for up to 1-2 months.
