Cinnamon Spinach Mini Flapjacks

5 Feb

GREEN. A color that screams bold and beautiful. Emeralds, pine trees, basil…But why does green in certain foods totally turn us off? Even if you know it’s good for you. If you saw spinach pancakes on a menu I highly doubt you’d be inclined to order them, but if you taste these cinnamon spinach mini flapjacks, you’ll never want the boring-colored pancakes ever again.

Pin It!

Toddler approved and healthy! Cinnamon Spinach Mini Flapjacks are paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free and sweetened with only banana and cinnamon!

These mini flapjacks are not only cute and pop-in-your-mouth FUN, they are packed with a sweet, cinnamon flavor. Honestly, you can’t even taste a hint of spinach in these minis! It’s the best ‘PSYCH!’ you’ll ever play on your kids….or your husband…or your brain.

Gluten free and paleo spinach mini flapjacks. Perfect for baby led weaning

I loved creating an on-the-go breakfast that is packed with healthy spinach goodness, that both little humans and big humans can enjoy. Sweetened with ripe banana and cinnamon, these cute ‘lil jacks are gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and paleo. Oh yeah, and they are green. Green = good. Also good? A little flaxseed added to ’em (shoutout to the omega-3’s)!

Healthy and child approved - these cinnamon spinach mini flapjacks are the perfect easy breakfast!

My toddler scarfed these down like they were going out of style – sans any syrup. And I scarfed a few down like my toddler might not let me try one. Luckily I was able to sneak a few of the reject, oblong-shaped ones that didn’t make the cut for the big photoshoot. Imperfect jacks need some love too!

SPOILER ALERT! These cinnamon spinach mini flapjacks are only 10 calories each. T-E-N. Cross my green-loving heart. So make a big batch and pop ‘em in your mouth during your morning commute, serve them as snacks for the kiddos, or make a leaning tower of flapjacks when you’re bored.

Serve them with warm maple syrup or simply stack and snack.

Only 10 calories each - these mini spinach flapjacks are made with ripe banana, spinach, cinnamon, and coconut flour.

Just when you think you’ve exhausted all options for healthy breakfasts: eggs – check, muffins – check, granola – check…refresh your a.m. eats with these green, spinach-packed beauties. Not only are they nutrient-dense, they are truly a fun, delicious breakfast you can feel good about!

      I love spinach too! I try to incorporate it in every breakfast. BUT my son and hubby do not, so that’s when I get a little creative 😉

    These sweet little green pancakes are so precious! I love the delightful sprinkling of cinnamon on top of each one. I’m completely inspired to cook up a batch of my own. I think my husband and daughter Brooke would both enjoy them. We’re all trying to select healthier food options and this delicious recipe fits right in. 🙂

      Aren’t they so darn cute? You could totally make them into ‘adult’ sized pancakes but they just aren’t as FUN! I’m sure your daughter will love them! As will you and the hubs of course 😉

      Flaxseed is just a ‘lil extra love. You can totally omit if you need to, but I like extra omega love…

    What a fun idea for kids! I usually get spinach into my boys via smoothies, but they absolutely LOVE pancakes, and the color green 😉 Totally trying this with them soon!

      I WISH my son liked smoothies. I’ve tried so many times! So this was the next best attempt, and it WORKED! I’m sure your boys would love these fun breakfast bites! Thanks Mary.

    Yum! I bet my cinnamon and pancake-loving boys would LOVE these! The key is not eating the whole 50 batch in one sitting, right?! 🙂

      They will, they will!! Seriously these ‘lil circles don’t taste like they should be as healthy as they are (clutch for kids, right?!) I do have to warm you, it’s dangerously easy to eat 50 in one sitting. DANGEROUS.

    How cute are these?! I love making pancakes on a Saturday morning, and these would be a nice change of pace to the traditional pancakes I make.

      Aren’t they?! You could totally make these in “adult sizes” too, but the ‘lil ones are just so fun!

    Hi! Wondering if you’ve tried freezing these and how they hold up? Thanks!

      Hey Ashley – I have not tried freezing them but I am sure they would freeze well! Just make sure you pat them down to soak up any moisture from earlier refrigerating or oil used in cooking. Let me know if you try it!
