As part of our New Years Resolution, we promised ourselves to eat better. We are doing just that! (And by we, I mean "I") My three year old is the pickiest child I have ever seen, so I am bound and determined to disguise his horrible eating habits with more nutritional look-alikes.
Quinoa is a high protein grain often substituted for rice. It packs a powerful punch in these delicious and satisfying mini pancakes! I absolutely love them, and my hard to please son did too! Woop woop!
Ingredients:
1 C. Flour
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Dash of Nutmeg
1 Egg
1 C. Buttermilk
1 tsp Vanilla
1 C. Cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Butter, Melted
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and dash of nutmeg in large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, vanilla and butter. Wisk together and mix into dry ingredients. Fold in the cooked quinoa and mix well. Heat your pan/griddle over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or melt 1 tsp butter for cooking. Pour on desired size pancakes and cook until bubbly on top. (Edges should start getting dry) Flip and cook until done.
These go great with blueberries inside, bananas on top, and with all kinds of syrup. We often use raw local honey instead of syrup as a healthier option. Enjoy!
Bless This Damn Mess ;-)
