Recipe Tips
If you do not wish to use all-purpose flour for this recipe you can swap it out for gluten-free flour and make these pancakes more allergen-friendly. By using gluten-free flour, these pancakes will be gluten-free as there are no other items containing gluten on the ingredient list.
Other milk can be used in place of soy milk. If you have almond milk or even coconut milk on hand, either one can be a great replacement option.
FAQs
What goes well with spinach pancakes
These savory pancakes would taste great with just about anything. You can enjoy them sweet like regular pancakes by adding a little vegan butter and maple syrup to the top or you can add a nice dollop of coconut whipped cream and fresh berries.
How long are spinach pancakes good for
You can keep your leftover pancakes stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend eating the pancakes when freshly made though because they taste much better when fresh off the griddle and can possibly dry out if stored too long in the fridge.
How to reheat spinach pancakes
Reheat your pancakes in the microwave for about 30 seconds per pancake on a plate or place your pancakes in an even single layer on a baking sheet and place them into the oven at 200 degrees F for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
