- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend fresh spinach leaves and ripe bananas until you have a smooth, green puree.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the spinach-banana puree with milk, egg, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to coat the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
