Hannah’s recipe:
For the pancakes:
1 cup spinach
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 Tbsp. oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Blend the spinach, milk, egg, and oil until very smooth. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, and pour in the wet mix. Whisk until just combined, and pour by 1/4 cup onto a heated griddle. Cook both sides until they JUST start to turn brown. Cut pancakes into square shapes, and using either blueberries or chocolate chips, make a “Creeper” face. Enjoy!
For the frittata:
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup spinach
salt & pepper to taste
Blend all ingredients until smooth in a blender. Cook in a covered skillet over low heat. Cut the frittata into fourths, and cut each fourth into a pixelated tree. Serve with a piece of bacon for the trunk.
