GLUTEN-FREE QUINOA PANCAKES



GLUTEN-FREE QUINOA PANCAKES image

Categories     Breakfast     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 1 4 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup cooked Quinoa (certified gluten-free if necessary)
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
pinch of Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
2 large Eggs

Steps:

  • Heat a large, lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and pour batter onto skillet, forming 4 pancakes. Cook slowly for 3-5 minutes on the first side, until pancakes are set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Serve with maple syrup, honey, nut butter and/or fresh fruit.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be. You can use fresh or frozen bananas, but if you're using frozen bananas, be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and don't worry if there are a few lumps.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them dry and tough. Flip them only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges.
  • Serve the pancakes warm: Pancakes are best served warm, so eat them right away or keep them warm in a preheated oven until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free quinoa pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option that are perfect for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. They're also a great way to use up leftover quinoa. The pancakes are light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor from the bananas. They're perfect for topping with your favorite fruits, nuts, or syrup.
