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
Directions
Step 1
Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour consistency.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, cooked quinoa, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the coconut oil or butter to coat the surface.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
