Nothing is more fun than breakfast for dinner, am I right? This dish has all the nutrients of a green smoothie in the irresistible, alluring shape of a pancake. Plus, kids can add all the smoothie ingredients to the blender and mix up the batter with just a little help from an adult to finish them off in the pan.

Serves: 4–6

  • 1 tbsp raw almonds
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter

  • 2 cups chopped kale, tightly packed
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2–3 tbsp coconut oil, for pan-frying
  • Maple syrup, to serve
