How to make lentil spinach pancakes?

This simple recipe is perfect for your busy weeknights. It’s quick and easy to prepare. Just soak your lentils in hot water for 30 minutes. Then drain them and add to your blender, along with all remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the spinach. In a medium mixing bowl, combine your finely chopped spinach with the pancake batter and mix well. That’s it, batter complete! Now time cook your delicious savoury pancakes.

Heat a non stick griddle and once HOT ladle your batter onto the griddle, making pancakes that are roughly 4″ in diameter. You should have enough batter to make about 12 pancakes. Your pancakes are ready to flip when several bubbles form on top, and when the edges are golden and appear set. Notice how the edges of the pancake almost appear to be cracking. If you try flipping your pancakes too soon, you’ll find that they may get stuck to the griddle. If they are not flipping relatively easily, cook another minute longer and try again. Your pancakes will be ready to flip in about 3-5 minutes. Then cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, and you’re done!

Easy recipes are my favourite! Easy recipes that my kids also enjoy, EVEN BETTER! My entire family loves pancakes, and I love feeding them pancakes that made with wholesome ingredients. These lentil spinach pancakes have tons of vitamins and nutrients, so it really is a winning combination. Serve your savoury pancakes with ketchup, Cayenne Spicy Dip, or enjoy solo!
