Ingredients for spinach pancakes
The recipe requires few ingredients, and you can adapt the ingredient list to your needs and, for example, make gluten-free or dairy-free spinach pancakes.
- Spinach: We use a whopping 200g of spinach for the recipe. It is recommended to buy spinach that has already been rinsed, so you can put it straight into the blender.
- Egg: Eggs add great satiety and nutrition and help the pancakes hold together. For vegan spinach pancakes, try making "chia eggs" by mixing 1 tbsp. chia seeds with 2 tbsp. water. Let it sit for 10 minutes before blending the chia egg with the other ingredients.
- Flour: You can use all sorts of different flours for the pancakes. We typically use whole grain flour (e.g. whole wheat flour or rye flour) or buckwheat flour or oat flour (blended rolled oats) for gluten-free spinach pancakes.
- Milk: You can use regular cow's milk or plant-based milk. If you use oat milk, almond milk or similar, we recommend choosing an unsweetened variety.
- Salt: To flavor the pancakes. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or garlic.
TIP: Also try food pancakes with sourdough or buckwheat pancakes
Filling for spinach pancakes
You can fill your spinach pancakes with all sorts of delicious things. Vegetables, meat, dips... It's a great way to empty out the fridge. We highly recommend using spinach pancakes for this recipe for green chicken wraps, where the pancakes are filled with vegetables and a fantastic chicken salad. In the pictures you can also see two wonderful versions: Spinach pancakes with hot smoked salmon, lettuce, carrots, avocado and radishes. Spinach pancakes with beetroot hummus and sesame-breaded avocado slices. The sesame breaded avocado slices are a great alternative to meat, and they just look incredibly decorative on the plate. You make them by cutting the avocado into 0.5 cm slices. Mix sesame seeds and salt in a deep plate, and add the avocado slices to it. Spread the sesame breaded avocado slices on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and bake them in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, until the sesame seeds are nicely golden.
