This is insanely delicious and I being a recipe creator never thought that this experiment would turn out to be so …….. I am speechless because I can still feel the taste lingering in my mouth. To top it all it falls under the category of super healthy and divine weekend brunch. Once you try these pancakes you don’t have to worry about feeding added nutrition to your pancakes loving family.
I had a huge bunch of fresh red chard leaves sitting in my refrigerator ready to be used immediately. After having no time for thinking I processed the red chard. Hmmmm…. I was starving and had no patience to cook a lengthy brunch. I whipped up all the ingredients in a mixing bowl along with the red chard and cooked round shape pancakes. Looked quite attractive and yet I kept staring at my stack for couple of minutes with my tummy growling. I simply poured some pure maple syrup over them and that was it………… I was totally quiet for next 15 minutes………… I was speechless for that whole time………… I could not believe my creativity………..
These Red Chard Pancakes tasted out of this world and was super delectable. I went on digging on my pancake stack until the whole plate was empty. I was full but I was craving for more. These pancakes were soooo gooood that my 3 year old also ate her serving leaving me super satisfied.
I finally managed to feed my family nutrient packed and iron rich Red Chard leaves.
Stop thinking right now and head to your kitchen and cook these yummmilicious pancakes for your family and enjoy your nutritious and low calorie brunch 🙂

Notes
Measure walnuts after crushing and crush as fine as possible but do not grind.
I always mash bananas in a food processor so it’s easy to mix with the dry ingredients.
If you eat these pancakes with maple syrup then no sweetener required to be mixed in the batter if your bananas are sweet enough or else add your choice of sweetener according to taste.
