Hearty Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Quinoa Casserole Recipe
This hearty sweet potato, black bean, and quinoa casserole is a simple, nourishing meal packed with plant-based protein and fiber perfect for an easy, feel-good dinner any night of the week.
My family loves pancakes! (Honestly, who doesnât love pancakes?) I donât have time to make them in the busy school rush during the week, so on the slower weekend mornings they remain a real family treat.
Regular pancakes are often full of extra sugar, dairy and gluten, so of course I wanted to create something more in alignment with our Solluna/Beauty Detox lifestyle. âş When I first started experimenting with gluten-free cooking a few years ago, I used weird ingredients like xanthan gum and boxed egg replacements. Then I really simplified the process!
As a result, Iâve created my Weekend Love Vegan & Gluten-free pancakes. These babies are light and fluffy, filling, and full of minerals and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, for us adults and little ones alike. âş

Chia seeds have been a popular health food for many years, thanks to their myriad health benefits. They are a must-have in my kitchen.
Chia seeds are a complete protein and are a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids. Theyâre also an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, as well as key vitamins and minerals.
The gel that forms when you mix water with chia seeds is also super nutritious. Itâs filling, promotes healthy digestion with its fibrous composition, and gives you a nice energy boost! Chia seed gel is also an amazing binding agent for vegan baking, like in this recipe. âş
Oats are an amazing grain. Naturally gluten-free, oats are a great source of plant-based protein and healthy amino acids. <1>
Oats are also a good source of nutrients like manganese, magnesium, and vitamin B1. Theyâre also a great source of compounds called polyphenols, and unique antioxidants called avenathramides that are found only in oats. These antioxidants may help increase your blood flow and lower blood pressure levels.
Of course, oats are an amazing source of fiber too. They also contain a type of fiber called beta-glucan that helps you feel full longer, foster the growth of healthy gut bacteria, and help reduce your bodyâs insulin response.
Oat flour is a good option for gluten-free bakingâ but be sure to check the label to say they have been processed in a âgluten-free facilityâ if you are allergic to gluten!

Everybody loves pancakes! Theyâre a real treat on the weekends when we can really slow down and savor that extra family time. Of course, thereâs always special plates that they have to be served on (Spiderman for Bubby and monsters for Mosie âş).
With my Weekend Love Vegan & Gluten-free pancakes, you can still enjoy a satisfying stack of pancakes and feel wonderful!
Be sure to take 2-3 Digestive Enzymes before enjoying, as I do, since these are on the heartier side for sure! Oats (which are a carb) and chia seeds (which are a protein) are a slight food miscombination, which is okay! We can be perfectly imperfect sometimes.
If you try this recipe, make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see what youâve created! Donât forget to share this recipe on Pinterest with your pancake-loving family and friends too. âş
