Hulk (Spinach) Pancakes
These breakfast pancakes will not only give your child superpower strength just like The Hulk, but they will also give him some fruit, veggies and protein. Don’t let the bright green color fool you; these taste just like regular pancakes only they are way better for you and even a bit creamier thanks to the Greek yogurt. Add banana slices, blueberries or even chocolate chips! These are sure to be a family favorite. I can’t wait for you to try them.
Servings: 16 pancakes

Instructions
- Add all ingredients except flour, butter and toppings to your blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Add flour and pulse a few times until completely incorporated (do not over process). Warm and grease a griddle or a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour small rounds of batter, making as many pancakes as will fit. Add optional toppings and let cook until bubbles start to form (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook other side until set (about 1-2 minutes). Regrease and continue to prepare pancakes. You can keep the finished pancakes warm in the oven (250 degrees F).
