A green take on breakfast-for-dinner.

First, you'll be enchanted by the beautiful, emerald green of these lovely little flapjacks. You might notice that besides being gorgeous and oh-so-easy to eat, they're also full of nutrients and healthy protein. Then, you'll think, "Hey, we just made a delicious dinner with nothing but a blender and a skillet." While you're congratulating yourself for your brilliance, dollop on a little savory lemon yogurt and a bright tangle of herbs, and wear that self-satisfied smile all the way to bedtime.

Step 3

As the flapjacks cook, stir together yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice and season with a generous pinch of salt. Toss herb salad together in a bowl together with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

When flapjacks are done, serve with lemon yogurt and herb salad.
