Ingredients
 

GREEN PANCAKES

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 2 tbsp millet or rice flour (or more buckwheat flour)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lime juice
  • 1 cup green leaves (kale, mint, parsley, cilantro, basil, spinach)
  • 2 small broccoli florets
  • 1 pinch cumin powder
  • 1 pinch Himalayan salt or more to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp spirulina powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil for frying

TOPPING

  • 1 cup green salad (spinach, kale, arugula, watercress)
  • 1 sweet potato (cut into chunks)
  • ¼ cup cauliflower florets
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup organic chickpeas *
  • 1 tbsp Hemp seeds (optional)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg powder

Instructions
 

PANCAKE

  • Place all the ingredients for the pancakes in a high speed blender and blend until well combined.
  • Let the batter sit for 10-20 minutes. Meanwhile cook the topping (see below).
  • Heat a small pan for the pancakes with a drizzle of coconut oil. Make sure that you take a non stick pan. Spoon 1/4 of the mixture onto the pan and cook until bubbly on top, then flip and cook until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Cook one pancake after the other and keep them warm in the oven on 50C (until you are done).

TOPPING

  • Peel the sweet potato and steam it for 10-15 minutes until soft.
  • Heat another small pan and roast the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes until they are getting brown.
  • Boil the frozen peas for 5 mins in water. Drain them and keep them on the side.
  • Place the steamed sweet potato in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add some Himalayan salt and a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Take a plate, arrange each pancake and top it with the salad. I use watercress, chickpeas, peas and cauliflower florets.
  • Scoop the sweet potato mash on the side or on top. Drizzle everything with some hemp seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

*spirulina powder is a superfood booster that gives the pancakes a nicer, richer green color. It is optional and watch out - the taste can be strong if you are not used to it.
