Ingredients

Topping

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Place all of the liquid ingredients, including the eggs into a high-powered blender. Then add all of the remaining ingredients, except the spinach.
  • Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds, until well combined.
  • Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender. Add the spinach and blend on high until the spinach leaves are completely blended and the batter is smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat a sauce pan on medium heat and add the blueberries and honey. Stir frequently as the blueberries heat and start to break down. Using the back side of a spoon, gently squash some of the blueberries to get more juice. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the blueberries have become syrup-like, with a few still whole. Turn of the heat.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle on medium-high heat and coat with butter, ghee or coconut oil.
  • Spoon the batter onto the skillet, keeping your pancakes approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with the macerated blueberries

Notes

  • When it comes to making evenly sized pancakes, I swear by my pancake pen. And it does help to flip the pancakes if they're kept to about 3-inches in diameter.
  • The high-powered blender I use for this recipe is my Vitamix 3500. It's so versatile! Make sure to check out all the Vitamix Recipes I make with it.
