All you need is a blender or food processor. And you’re good to have a marathon of flap jack flippin’ on any weekend morning.
What’s better than pancakes on the weekend? Maybe pancakes loaded with nutrient dense ingredients, and are so tasty your little ones will (should) not know the difference.

You’ll need ...
- 1 c oats
- 1 Tbsp flax seed meal*
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 stalk of kale, stem removed
- 1 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 c almond milk
- 1/4 c water
- splash of vanilla
- pinch of sea salt
What to do ...
1. Add all the ingredients into the blender.
2. Turn blender on to variable speed and start slow to fast ensuring ingredients create a smooth batter consistency.
3. Allow batter to sit for 3-5 minutes and it will thicken up making it easier to pour (and flip).
4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low with coconut oil
5. Pour pancake batter onto skillet, making ~2 diameter pancakes.
6. Once the tops of the pancakes look less wet and more dry, they’re ready to flip. Or sneak a peek under the pancake and if the edges are golden brown, they’re ready to flip. Allow bottoms to get golden, another minute or so, and place on a cooling rack until ready to serve.
7. Continue to add coconut oil to pan as needed while you make more pancakes. Batter should make about 10 small pancakes.
8. Enjoy!
*Notes - flaxseed meal adds to the nutritional value profile in this smoothie pancake. If you don’t have flaxseed meal, use an egg, and do not add more water
