My son, Keenan, requested pancakes yesterday morning, so I thought it would be fun to experiment a little, adding spinach, ground flax seed and some almond flour. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they turned out! They were a big hit with Keenan because as we were eating breakfast he said, “Mommy, these are my favorite!” I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
