My kids don’t ask me if they can have pancakes. They ask me if they can have GREEN pancakes – that’s how good these Spinach Banana Pancakes are! Make them once and your kids will want these again and again.
The batter comes together in the blender so it’s perfect for those rushed mornings, and you’ve probably got all the ingredients in your kitchen right now.
These pancakes are whole-wheat and made with both fruit and vegetables. I can’t think of a more mom-approved breakfast! Serve them fresh off the griddle with some nuts and honey or pack them for later in the tiffin—they’re perfect either way.

Ingredients Overview
First, I make a spinach banana puree in the blender using bananas, blanched spinach, milk, vanilla extract, jaggery, and an egg. Then I add this to a mix of whole-wheat flour (atta) and baking powder and whisk to combine. When the pancakes are ready, I serve them with some honey, nuts and more chopped bananas.
Richa’s Top Tricks
- Brush your skillet with butter all over and wipe off the excess before pouring into the pancake batter. This helps with even browning and will give us those picture perfect-looking pancakes.
- You can make the batter ahead and refrigerate it overnight to use the next morning.
- If you don’t have the small yidaki bananas, sub for 1 regular sized banana.
- Make sure not to over sweeten the batter, as this will cause your pancakes to become chewy rather than fluffy.
- You can add in your favorite mix-ins to the batter – chocolate chips or blueberries would be YUM here!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will these pancakes last in the fridge?
You can store these pancakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Can I make these pancakes without eggs?
Yep! You can replace the egg with a flax egg (mix 1 tbsp of ground flax seed powder with 3 tbsp of water).
Why are my pancakes not fluffy?
To get fluffy pancakes, make sure to whisk the batter only until just combined. Over-whisking will make the pancakes dense. Also, make sure that you pour the batter on a heated pan!
