Quinoa Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
• 1/4 cup butter milk
• Butter or vegetable spray for griddle
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
• Fresh fruit for serving

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together quinoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg white, butter, milk, and syrup until smooth. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and whisk to combine.

2. Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with butter or vegetable spray and heat over medium-high. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top, 2 minutes. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes (lower heat if browning too fast). Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more melted butter or spray and remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit or dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa if desired.
