Simple Banana Quinoa Pancakes. - Combet Pamella

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm totally obsessed with pancakes and would eat them every day if I could, but they, a) take time and b) they aren't typically the most nutritious of breakfasts.

That's what I wanted to achieve for you in this recipe. To make a pancake recipe that was super easy and super nutritious. A pancake that you could eat every day if you wanted to and feel good about serving to your family. Because really, if you could eat pancakes every day, wouldn't you?!
My Twist On Simple Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
There's this trend online for 3-ingredient banana pancakes. All you need is banana, eggs, and oats. And while sure I think those are okay, they're not my style of pancake.
I like pancakes that have some lift. That have a little fluffiness. So I took that standard recipe and tweaked it a bit to make these simple banana pancakes feel light, but also make them a bit healthier.
We're swapping some of the oats for quinoa flakes (read more protein & fiber), adding some almond milk and also a raising agent. The end result is still super simple to make, but they have that lovely texture that I love!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats

1/2 cup quinoa flakes

1 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of sea salt

1 banana

1 large egg

1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Add oats, quinoa flakes, baking powder and salt into a blender. Pulse a few times until it resembles a flour.

Add banana, egg, almond milk and vanilla, and blend until smooth.

Heat and grease a pan over medium-low heat. Pour pancake batter directly from the blender container onto the pan. Cook pancakes until bubbles start to form on the top, 2 – 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 – 2 minutes. Repeat until no batter remains.
