Green Pancakes
Ok, so pancake day isn't until March 5th, but I love pancakes all year round. Nothing beats stacked, warm pancakes covered in fruit and syrup. These are also special pancakes, because they contain hidden greens. After researching at testing ways to hide vegetables, this is a perfect way to secretly get more vegetables into children who refuse to eat them. I tested them on my husband who was a little skeptical, but he agreed that you really and truly can't taste the spinach. With sweetness coming from banana and honey, they are also refined sugar free. Perfectly easy to make, all you need is a blender and you are all set. Hopefully you can add them to your weekend breakfast rotation, be sure to let me know if the little's like them. I mean if weekends aren't for pancakes then when are they for?
