With coconut flour’s natural mild sweetness and fiber richness, these St. Patty’s Day breakfast pancakes are absolutely amazing. Kids can pick their favorite toppings, creating a fun-filled and delicious experience they’ll love! 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup baby spinach (tightly packed)

• ½ cup Pride of India's coconut flour

• ½ tablespoon Pride of India's arrowroot powder

• 1 ripe banana

• 2 eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup milk (any preferred type)

• A pinch of Himalayan pink salt

• 1 teaspoon Pride of India's cinnamon powder

• 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar (adjust to taste)

• Butter, for frying

Steps to follow:

1. Blend the spinach mixture:
In a blender, combine spinach, banana, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Blend until smooth.

2. Add the dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together coconut flour, arrowroot starch, Himalayan pink salt, cinnamon powder, and your chosen sweetener.

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Pour the blended spinach mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well to form a thick batter. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture. Adjust with a little more milk to reach your preferred consistency.

4. Cook the green pancakes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour small portions of batter onto the pan, shaping them into circles or fun shamrock designs. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

5. Serve and enjoy:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and let your little leprechauns choose their favorite toppings!
