Ingredients

Cooked quinoa

1 cup

Old-fashioned oats

1 cup

Ripe bananas

2, medium

Eggs

2 large

Milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)

1 cup, for serving

Maple syrup

to taste, for serving

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked quinoa, oats, ripe bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Blend the mixture until smooth and well-combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
5. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
