Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (I use Gary's True Grit Einkorn Pancake & Waffle Mix™)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1-2 scoops Pure Protein Complete (Vanilla Spice)™
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (free-range, local eggs preferred)
- 4-6 drops Lemon Vitality™ essential oil
- 1 tablespoon chia or flax seeds
- 1 ¾ cups farm-fresh milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + butter or unrefined coconut oil for frying
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 handful spinach (optional) (This recipe makes it east to throw in the leafy greens for the whole family!)
- 100% pure maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a blender, mix the milk, honey, eggs, melted butter, bananas, seeds and spinach. (Blend until just mixed.)
- Make a well (hole) in the center of the flour mixture and pour in wet mixture. Whisk together thoroughly, but do not over-mix.
- Heat a griddle or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Swirl enough butter (or coconut oil) around the pan until it is well coated. Add pancake batter using a soup ladle.
- When the pancakes have begun to turn brown on the bottom, flip them over to cook the other side.
- Serve with warm maple syrup and a side of fruit.
Enjoy!
About Einkorn Flour
My recipe contains Einkorn wheat flour which is much easier to digest, therefore allowing for better nutrient absorption! I don't know about you, but I need all the nutrients to absorb possible I can get!
The history of wheat is rather fascinating! The greater processing of the wheat most of us are accustomed to makes it harder to digest. True "celiac" disease is still a very real concern with any wheat; however, many "gluten sensitive" consumers find Einkorn wheat that has been grown organically and sustainably to be much more tolerable to their digestion and a healthy part of their nutrition.

About Lemon Vitality™ Essential Oil
Lemon Vitality™ essential oil includes the naturally occurring constituent limonene. Go research that, right after you finish reading this page! :)
Pressed from the fresh rinds of the fruit, Lemon Vitality is a delicious essential oil that has that wonderfully nostalgic taste and smell of lemon drop candy. It’s a great substitute in any recipe calling for fresh lemon juice, rind, or flavoring—without all the hassle of zesting, grating, or juicing. It's even good in baking such as shortbread cookies, jams, or even in a glass of ice-cold water.
