I’m honored to be a Stonyfield Yo-Getter’s Blogger Captain this year and in doing so will be sharing with you some amazing recipes that I make with their products. I hope you enjoy this delicious one!
I’ve made spinach pancakes before, but they don’t even compare to these. These pancakes are light, fluffy and sweet!
While I was making them, Liam was at my feet begging to try some. Once he took a bite, there was no going back. He devoured 3 whole pancakes in one sitting!
I’m raising him right, what can I say? 😉
I love this recipe so much because it’s done entirely in your blender. No need to dirty up another bowl! Less dishes = more time to eat!
Also, they are made with some pretty fantastic ingredients. Wanna see?
- There’s no butter or oil…thank you Stonyfield!
- There’s no heavy cream or buttermilk…thank you again Stonyfield!
- There’s no added sugar…thank you honey!
- They are made with 100% whole wheat and 2 full cups of spinach!
I hope you’re able to make these, but if you’re not, I hope you’ll make pancakes this week because it’s National Pancake Week!
Cheers to one of my favorite meals: breakfast.

LOVE these!!! I’ve never put spinach in my pancakes – that needs to change!
I dig savory pancakes.
These sound wonderful. Will be making them soon!
I love these green pancakes! They sound so ‘hulk’ like!!!
What a genius idea! And I already have all of the ingredients. I might not be able to wait until breakfast to make these.
Hey! I have never thought to add spinach to my pancakes! It’ll be perfect for St.Patrick’s day 🙂
These look so good to me!! I have never tried spinach pancakes, I’m totally going to make them for us. Great recipe!
How fun is this idea for St. Paddy’s???
We love our green pancakes! These look fantastic!
Those are awesome! A little scary looking, but I am guessing it is similar to the spinach in shakes thing….you can’t taste it! I enjoy lots of pancakes (especially ones with protein) after my long runs to ensure my nutrition is right for my training. Thanks for the idea!
These look amazing, Caroline! Lucy won’t drink smoothies anymore which is where I used to feed us lots of spinach. Can’t wait to make these pancakes!
Hi! I substituted flour for flaxseed meal. The consistency is very thick and hard to cook. Is this because of the type of flour?
Hi there, yes flaxseed will do that. When I use flaxseed meal in pancakes, I only substitute about 1/4 of the flour for flaxseed. If anything, you can try to add more milk or eggs to your batter if it’s ever too thick, as well. I’d definitely recommend giving these pancakes a try with normal flour (and you can use any combination of white whole wheat flour, whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached all purpose flour) and they’ll be great! Happy Cooking!
Can I substitute Better Batter gluten free flour and have it come out decent?
I’m not sure Nicole. I had actually never heard of Better Batter before, but thank you for the introduction! 🙂 I’ll have to try it out!
I wonder how these would be without the honey – I’d like to make them for my baby (who loves other types of pancakes but which have banana for natural sweetness). Any thought? Thanks!
I think you’d be fine. You could even add in some smashed banana for added flavor and sweetness. Happy Cooking!
My son wanted pancakes for dinner and I wanted healthy so we settled on these. I messed up and ended up using all whole wheat flour (instead of the white whole wheat) and I thought I would hate it because I don’t typically enjoy the taste of whole wheat flour, but even with that I loved them and so did my son. This recipe is a keeper! They were fantastic!
Aww, yay! I’m so glad you guys liked them! 😀 Yay for healthy breakfasts for dinner. Gotta love sneaking in spinach!
These look delish! Can you use any brand of nonfat greek yogurt?
Yes, you should be good with any brand. My favorite is Stonyfield. 😀
I am thinking about making these with kale as I have a TON in my garden. I have made spinach muffins, carrot waffles, and beer pancakes for my one year old and he gobbles them all up. What are your thoughts on kale as a substitute?
I think kale would work beautifully! I would modify the recipe and blend the milk and kale together first, then blend in the yogurt, honey and eggs. Happy Pancake Making!
Could I use all-purpose flour instead of the other flour? Cooking at school and thats all we have.
