If you made a resolution to eat more fruits or vegetables, this is the perfect recipe for you. Personally, I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. I refuse to wait until the start of a year to eat better or keep my house cleaner. If something needs to change, waiting only makes me want to wait longer. The sooner you commit to a change, the sooner you’ll see the benefits of those changes, right?
This isn’t the first time I’ve put spinach into pancakes. I made green pancakes on St Patrick’s day last year, and I’m sorry I’ve kept them from you for so long. They’re even better with the berries! The berries add a great sweetness that covers the spinach flavor perfectly. If you use mixed berries like I did here, the batter will be a weird grey/purple color but will cook into more of a blue/green. I bet if you used just blueberries, you could entirely hide the presence of spinach from unsuspecting children, boyfriends/husbands, or any other veggie haters.
Every time I post about chia seed pancakes, I freak out about how delicious they are. If you haven’t made them yet, how else can I convince you? The chia seeds replace eggs in the batter and make for a great, fluffy pancake. Check out my other recipes, too.

[…] pudding, but I wanted to go a little more savory. I thought back to how much I loved putting spinach in pancakes and how people make spinach pasta. Spinach bread really just made the most logical […]
Okay, I wouldn’t trust anyone else if they told me to put seeds in my pancakes, but because I love you, I will try it. I’ve already done the spinach in my smoothie thing and loved it, am positive I’ll flip for these (HAHAHA PANCAKE PUN) and soon I bet you’ll have to pry the green stuff from my cold, dead arms. Or maybe not, because why would I be dead? I digress…
Haaa pancake puns! My favorite.
These pancakes look awesome! Definitely something I’ll have to make for my dad sometime – he loves to put spinach in everything.
pinning!
Im always looking for new healthy recipes! I will have to try these babies out!
Once I can eat pancakes again (Whole 30 = no baked goods) I might have to make a gluten free version and try to get my fiancé to eat them–he needs more veggies!
Ashley, let me know if you do! I keep wanting to making a GF version of my chia seed pancakes, but I’m always too lazy to think on a Saturday morning. I think just plain oatflour would probably work? I’m not sure I could commit to 30 days of no pancakes!
I think it’d be similar to my gluten free waffles, which I believe were coconut flour and almond flour. Which means that, so long as the sugar is kept low, they’re also paleo!
Yeah, 30 days no pancakes is a sad month. But I’ll make up for it after, I’m sure.
I love how good for you these are!! Both fruit and veggies in one meal. Plus they are fluff central!
Spinach in a pancake? I’m totally game for trying this.
Isn’t it SO much fun figuring out new ways to incorporate veggies into your breakfast? I think that is one reason why I am currently obsessed with green smoothies!
Oh these look so fun!! I’m on a huge pancake kick right now!
