Banana Qunioa Pancakes

Delicious! Healthy! Kid Friendly!

 

Ingredients:

2 overly-ripe bananas

4 eggs (I prefer brown eggs because of their flavor)

1/2 teaspoon of pure Vanilla Extract (GF)

2 Tablespoons of Quinoa

2 Tablespoons of ground old fashioned Oats (GF)

1/2 cup of Whole Wheat Flour (or Almond Meal for those GF)

3 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (if desired)

2 Tablespoons of real butter

Raw Agave Syrup

Directions:

This batter is easy to mix using your food processor. First add the oats and quinoa, and the chop in the processor until the oats turn powdery. Next, add the wheat flour or almond meal and grind again. Now add all remaining ingredients and mix until a light batter is formed. If you family prefers a heavier pancake batter you can add an extra tablespoon of oats.

Prepare your frying pan by melting real butter (no margarine or butter substitutes). Pour batter into pan as you would regular pancakes. I like to sprinkle mine with chopped pecans.I think it brings out the flavor of the bananas. Make sure you wait until the pancakes are bubbling and crusty on the edges before flipping. Because they are gluten free, they need an extra minute to cook so they can hold together. This recipe makes about 4 medium sized pancakes. Drizzle with the raw agave syrup and serve.

Trust me. These darlings don't last long on the plate.
