Homemade Dr. Praeger’s Spinach Cakes

Spinach Turnip Cakes

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!

Turnips

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.

Spinach Pancakes

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.
