Prep

1
In a large wooden bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3 min
Using a mix of flours gives a great nutty flavor without making the pancakes too heavy.
2
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs then whisk in the milk and olive oil until smooth.
2 min
3
Gently fold the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and lemon zest into the wet ingredients.
2 min
Make sure the spinach is very finely chopped so it distributes evenly through the batter!
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few lumps are perfectly fine!

5 min
Wait for little bubbles to form on the surface before flipping for that perfect golden crust.
6
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like!

Chef's Notes

This is my Mediterranean-inspired take on a classic American breakfast staple. The secret is using a high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil for that subtle fruity note that pairs perfectly with the savory feta. If you're prepping for a busy week, these freeze beautifully—just pop them in the toaster for a quick, wholesome morning win! For a little extra kick, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter.
