Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

Pancakes are popular with our member community, and we couldn't resist debuting a new version! A simple egg and spinach scramble balances the sweetness of this breakfast classic.
Smarts: We chose to double down on the banana flavor by adding sliced bananas on top of the pancakes, but feel free to top these any way you like.

Make

Optional step: If you know you’ll be cooking your pancakes in batches (especially if cooking 4 or more servings), turn the oven on to 200F / 93C and place a sheet pan inside. You can transfer the pancakes to the oven as they cook to keep them warm.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Rub with some butter or drizzle with some oil to prevent sticking. Spoon batter onto heated skillet (make the pancakes as small or large as you like). Let pancakes cook on one side until light golden brown and firm. Gently flip to cook on the other side.
Continue to cook pancakes in batches until all of the batter has been used.
When pancakes are nearly done, heat a nonstick pan or skillet with oil over medium heat. Add shallots and spinach and saute until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour eggs (portion for scramble) into skillet and stir them gently to scramble, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season to taste with some additional salt and pepper if needed.
Divide pancakes among serving plates and top with banana slices and pecans. Serve with butter and maple syrup, if you like. Enjoy with egg scramble on the side.
