Notes
- * Using a metal cookie cutter to contain the pancakes as you fry them will help give you a nice rounded shape and a more managable size too.
Directions
- In a blender mix together eggs, spinach, salt, black pepper, dried herbs and nutritional yeast (if you're using). Then add to the mixture protein and coconut flour, and give it a good wiz until everything is incorporated into the mixture.
- Heat the oil in the pan.
- Pour in half of the pancake mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat for the other half.*
- Leave both pancakes to cool while you prepare the filling, which brings us to the next step...
- Prepare the filling of your choice.
- Grab one of the pancakes, add your filling and place the other pancake on top. Cut in half and you have your delicious "panwich".
- Enjoy!
