Coconut Banana Pancakes    

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Heat up a pan on medium heat and add coconut oil or butter. Make smaller silver dollar sized pancakes and cook on both sides until cooked. These were delicious topped with some homemade butter and fresh blueberries from the Farmer’s Market! Everyone loved them! You could even add some chopped apples or berries directly in the batter while cooking. So many options! *If you are pressed for time you can make the pancakes the night before and refrigerate and warm up in a toaster oven the next morning!

Let quinoa soak overnight and then cook up like normal adding a little almond milk and butter. Add a dash of salt, cinnamon and 1tsp of vanilla extract when cooked and mix. Add to some yogurt (CLICK HERE for my easy homemade recipe) add some nuts like sunflower seeds, almonds and some fresh berries. Drizzle with honey and enjoy! *To save time you can cook the quinoa the night before (just soak for a couple hours before cooking) refrigerate and warm up the next morning adding the almond and butter and other ingredients when re-warming. Add extras (nuts, berries, etc.) after re-warmed.
