Quinoa Pancakes

Submitted by Chef #692068

"yummy and filling and kid approved! taken from the web. i've used frozen (or fresh) bananas instead of the sugar and add them to the blender part. i've also subbed splenda (both brown sugar and regular) before. i usually use 2 or 3 T of multigrain cereal from Hodgson's Mill rather than the wheat germ and semola. these freeze really well."
