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.
These tastes best when served immediately. However, you may refrigerate the leftovers for 2-3 days in a container. Warm it well before serving.
You may use swiss chard or rainbow chard instead as well. The color and the presentation may change but will still taste the same.
Yes, I sweetened the batter with banana to make it super healthy.
