What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 3/3 cup oatmeal (instant)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 pieces green chilies, chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
Directions
  1. Mix oatmeal, spinach, and water in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a large bowl, add egg, chili powder, salt, cracked black paper, and whisk until properly incorporated. (This batter keeps in the fridge for a week. Make a big batch and fry a few pancakes every morning).
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  4. Sprinkle onions, tomatoes, green chilies on top, and flip when the bottom side has browned (approximately 2 minutes). Cook the other side for 1 more minute, flip, sprinkle some feta, and serve immediately.
