While diving back into Pinterest land for bedroom inspiration, I allowed myself the more-than-occasional food pin distraction. And during one of these food tangents, I was drawn to a pin showing a stack of spinach pancakes. I clicked on it, secretly hoping the post would outline a homemade recipe for Dr. Praeger’s spinach cakes {one of my favorite freezer staples}. And it did!
I really liked Meg of Veggie Staple’s recipe, but knew immediately that I wanted to try a few things differently. Like more spinach {puréed} and turnips in place of potatoes.
The turnip version yielded a lower carb, lower calorie, higher calcium-containing cake. And puréeing the spinach made for the most vibrant cake in all of the land! I’ve enjoyed them solo as a quick snack or topped with an egg for a nutrient-dense breakfast.
Turnips have a slight bitterness, so if you’re not a turnip fan, try replacing half of the turnips in this recipe with a white or sweet potato.
