Spirulina Spelt Pancakes

It's Earth Day! I love how Duluth celebrates Earth Day. We visited the Bike Swap this morning, followed by the opening of the Farmers Market! It feels like summer is around the corner! 

We celebrated this morning with some green pancakes! The kids giggled with  delight when I set them down. Normally, they like their fruit on the side but the banana flowers were great fun.  

This recipe tastes earthy. If you think your littles might want it a little sweeter, add some honey or maple syrup to the batter. Enjoy this beautiful sunny day!! 🌞
