Donna's Banana Chocolate Chip Quinoa Pancakes

Dear Brunchers, this quick and delightful meal uses up leftover quinoa and bananas which is why I decided to create this recipe.  The addition of chocolate chips and pecans takes it to the next level but you could also add blueberries instead of the chips if desired.  What a great beginning to a new week!  Best, Donna:
