"If any trace of blue spirulina's flavor does peep through, however, don't worry - its earthy, subtly sweet tasting profile makes a natural complement to pancakes. To incorporate it, simply whisk a scoop of the powder into the dry ingredients of your go-to pancake recipe's batter. 1 to 2 teaspoons of spirulina (depending on your desired opacity of pigmentation) is enough to dye roughly nine pancakes. Then, scoop and pan-fry your bright blue batter in a buttered skillet as normal."
"This natural pigment imparts a bright blue hue when mixed into foodstuffs. Thanks to the phycocyanin it contains, spirulina powder has emerged as a fixture in health food stores and at smoothie counters across the country. But it can also make for some fun, highly Instagrammable pancakes, which are sure to please foodies of all ages at the breakfast table."
Blue spirulina is a phycocyanin pigment from blue-green algae that produces a bright blue hue in foods. The powder is plant-based and serves as a natural alternative to synthetic blue food dyes, making it suitable for vegan pancake recipes. The flavor is very mild; when detectable it offers an earthy, subtly sweet note that complements pancakes. For application, whisk a scoop of blue spirulina into the dry pancake ingredients; 1 to 2 teaspoons will color roughly nine pancakes. Cook the batter in a buttered skillet as usual. Blue spirulina powder is available from many online retailers, with small bags around $19.95.
