Luck of the Irish Dutch Baby

Dutch Baby or German Pancake is my families favorite breakfast. The kids love that it puffs up and love it more that it’s a decadent breakfast you can smother with syrup and whipped cream. For St Patrick’s Day I thought it would be fun to add a little green to the party - in the form of spinach instead of food coloring. If any breakfast is inherently not healthy, it’s a Dutch Baby - so why not add a little redeeming value?

When this comes out of the oven, you can smell the spinach. But I promise once you bite into it, you don’t taste the spinach which means your kids won’t reject it based on flavor!

Luck of the Irish Dutch Baby

3 eggs

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup melted butter

1 cup spinach

1 teaspoon vanilla

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and pop the pan into the oven. I recommend a 12” skillet.

STEP 2

In a blender, whip the eggs then add milk. Blend until frothy.

STEP 3

Add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and blend until just incorporated. Add the spinach and vanilla and whip until frothy.

STEP 4

Pop the butter into the hot pan. Close the oven and let it melt. When it’s melted, pour in the batter. Bake 20 minutes until edges are browned and puffed up

Serve with whipped cream, syrup, fruit, Nutella, anything else you like!
