This is insanely delicious and I being a recipe creator never thought that this experiment would turn out to be so …….. I am speechless because I can still feel the taste lingering in my mouth.

To top it all it falls under the category of super healthy and divine weekend brunch. Once you try these pancakes you don’t have to worry about feeding added nutrition to your pancakes loving family.

These are absolutely outstanding and so unique. This breakfast is gonna make all the moms happy and achieved.

Even though I often make recipe with this leafy vegetable like sandwich, pasta I was wondering as to be more creative.

I had a huge bunch of fresh red chard leaves sitting in my refrigerator ready to be used immediately. After having no time for thinking I processed the red chard.

As soon as I served this brunch to my family, they were skeptical. But gradually I convinced them to try it. And all was gone within minutes.

I was super happy and totally encouraged to share this Red Chard Pancakes recipe with you all.

Ingredients for Red Chard Pancakes

walnuts

red chard

banana

vanilla extract

I have used these easily available ingredients which you may buy from any local grocery store.

Ingredients notes:

Spelt flour – This is fiber rich especially if we use whole grain spelt flour but you may substitute it with whole wheat flour also.

red chard – its an iron rich red colored leafy vegetables. It tastes bitter as raw but when cooked properly it adds al lot of color and taste to this recipe.

How to make Red Chard Pancakes

Firstly, in a food processor, I shredded red chard and kept it aside.

Secondly, in a mixing bowl, I combined spelt flour, baking powder, salt, walnuts and red chard and mixed it well.

Next, I mashed the bananas in a another bowl and mixed in vanilla extract, olive oil and almond milk in it.

Thereafter, I folded in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whipped it into a batter.

Afterwards, I heated a nonstick pan and greased it with a cooking spray.

Then, I poured about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and shaped it round.

Later, when the bottom was cooked, I flipped it over to the other side with a spatula to cook again.

Once done I served it with lots of maple syrup and fresh fruits.

It was so good that I went on digging on my pancake stack until the whole plate was empty.

I was full and craved for more. These pancakes were soooo gooood that my 3 year old also ate her serving leaving me super satisfied.

I finally managed to feed my family nutrient packed and iron rich leafy vegetable.

Red Chard Pancakes FAQs

How long does it last?

These tastes best when served immediately. However, you may refrigerate the leftovers for 2-3 days in a container. Warm it well before serving.

Can I substitute red chard with other leafy vegetables?

You may use swiss chard or rainbow chard instead as well. The color and the presentation may change but will still taste the same.

Is it a sweet pancake recipe?

Yes, I sweetened the batter with banana to make it super healthy.
