Eggless avocado banana pancakes! If it is near Christmastime these are perfect as Grinch pancakes! The pancakes actually do not get most of the green color from avocado. They are green because of two handfuls of spinach pureed. Everyone in the family loved these as they are guilt-free pancakes and they taste good! Depending on the sweetness/ripeness of your banana you may not need any maple syrup.
The pancakes are made using no eggs. The main ingredients are avocado, pancakes, spinach, oat flour, and oat milk. Note, this batter is a little different than the usual pancake batter. You should make sure it is thick, yet pour-able and it will take 2-3 minutes to cook on each side on low-medium. Be careful when flipping the pancake over.
The pancakes are pictured with three strawberry hearts inspired by this line from The Grinch:
Well, in Whoville they say – that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!
