Ingredients
1cupquinoa flour
1teaspoonbaking powder
1/4teaspoonbaking soda
3/4cupnonfat plain greek yogurt (vanilla is fine)
1large ripe banana, mashed
1tablespoonhoney
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1/4teaspoonalmond extract
1egg, slightly beaten
1/4cupunsweetened almond milk, plus more if necessary
Optional: blueberries or chocolate chips
Instructions
In large bowl whisk together quinoa flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
In a separate medium bowl beat banana, greek yogurt, eggs, honey, vanilla and almond extract and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and mix together. The batter will be very thick; consistency will vary based on which yogurt you used. Note: If you find that it is WAY too thick (almost paste like), you can add in a tablespoon or two more milk until it is smooth, but still thick.
Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter or cooking spray and place over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto skillet. Add toppings of choice. You may need to use a spoon to spread out the batter just a tiny bit, as pancake batter will be thick and you'll want them to cook thoroughly. It's very important to cook until bubbles appear on top and the edges are well cooked; this is thick batter so you want to ensure even cooking.
Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more melted butter or cooking spray and remaining batter. You may need to reduce heat to medium low. Makes 8 pancakes total. Serves: 4 people, 2 pancakes each.
Notes
Feel free to sub a flavored greek yogurt for the plain. You can also use whole fat or 2% yogurt.This recipe is really great with a few tablespoons of almond or peanut butter stirred into the batter.Go ahead and get adventurous and try throwing in a few blueberries, chocolate chips or even granola for more flavor.
