Teff Pancakes (Tropical)

This is my favorite version of our normal blender pancake recipe.

Turn on the stove to medium heat, and get a frying pan that heats evenly. (Medium-low heat is sufficient with a cast iron skillet.)

In a blender make the batter:

6 eggs
1 1/3 cup teff flour
1 1/3 cup quinoa flour (or more teff flour, or a flour mix)
1 1/3 cup frozen spinach
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup coconut milk (we use the Trader Joe's lowfat kind)
2/3 cup pineapple juice (we use the juice from canned pineapple)
some salt, vanilla, and cinnamon

Blend well. Then make and enjoy your pancakes!

Note that this recipe contains neither gluten nor leavening, and thus fits Sephardic customs for Passover food.
