Banana Quinoa Pancakes

This is something I just came up with trying to use up a bag of quinoa and wanted to experiment. The banana and honey balance out the nutty quinoa flavor. Plus the quinoa adds protein. Once I got an mmmmmmmm out of hubby at breakfast, I knew I had to share. Serve hot with butter and syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ⅓ cup water, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 very ripe banana, mashed
• ⅓ cup whole milk
• ½ cup quinoa flour
• coconut oil cooking spray

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Grease a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.

Step 2

Combine banana and egg in a bowl. Mix all-purpose flour, quinoa flour, whole milk, water, sugar, honey, coconut oil, kosher salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl; add to banana mixture until batter is smooth. Add more water if batter is too thick.

Step 3

Drop batter by 1/3 to 1/2 cup onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
