Banana Quinoa Pancakes


This little gem is one of my favorites. While I did get the idea for a quinoa pancake, this recipe is one I found on Ambitious Kitchen.  Made some very minor adjustments. William and I both inhaled these.  A keeper for sure!

Banana Quinoa Pancakes

1 cup cooked quinoa
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tsp coarse salt
2 large egg whites
1 egg
1/3 cup vanilla almond yogurt
2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large very ripe bananas, pureed

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, spices, baking powder, and quinoa.  In a large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.  Slowly stir in the dry ingredients.  Stir until just combined.

Melt a little coconut oil on a preheated skillet and scoop on about 1/4 cup of the mixture.  Cook about 2 minutes per side.  You will know to flip when you start seeing bubbles form.  This should make about 12 pancakes. 

These would be great with some chocolate chip, coconut, or berries added.
