Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter) for cooking
Instructions
Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, cooked quinoa, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the coconut oil or butter to coat the surface.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circular shape if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
