Green Pancakes

My kids have a huge aversion to green foods. There are only  few green food items they will eat. So I am always coming up with inventive ways to encourage them to try more.

Most kids love pancakes, right? So I wondered if I could perhaps incorporate green in a fun way for my kids. Kind of like the famous Dr Seuss book – Green Eggs and Ham.

These turned out really well and the kids loved them. I just served them with a simple knob of butter and some maple syrup. But they would be great with some fruit too.

These are also gluten free if you use gluten free oats, so great if anyone in your family has a gluten intolerance.

    This recipe is amazing and so simple! This is a definite win for the vegetable and my little 15 month old loved them. Have you tried any other vegetable… would beetroot be a step too far? You site is amazing, I have tried lots of your recipes and they really work. Thanks

      I haven’t tried beets, but with some cocoa powder I reckon it would make a awesome healthier chocolate pancake 🙂

    I just want to say I can’t thank you enough for your recipes. My son is a very fussy eater who doesn’t like any meat, fish or egg so I have struggled to make sure he get enough protein and iron fron his food. However he loves the green pancakes and the Apple and cheddar quinoa bites which have ingredients that are high in iron and protein. He also likes the squash mac and cheese and the spinach and feta muffin. It’s amazing considering how fussy he is ( Refused all homemade Annabel Karmel meals). So once again thank you so much!

    Such a great idea! My kids also have an aversion to green foods (I think most do!). Your lentil curry is almost a weekly staple in our house; one of those recipes that puts smiles on the most sullen of faces. Keep up the great work!
