This is a perfect recipe to kick-start the day. I cook them frequently as a filling breakfast. The wholesome spinach provides the pancakes with a nice green color and packs a lot of iron. Ground ginger adds flavor and antioxidants. I add spices to the batter for some extra flavor. They are rich in fiber and low in fat, thus it helps in maintaining a healthy weight. Furthermore they are rich in complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, iron and calcium.
