Apple-Cinnamon Quinoa Pancakes image

My daughter and daughter-in-law got me hooked on quinoa. I dressed up a regular pancake recipe to create these delicious apple-cinnamon breakfast treats. The shredded apple remains slightly crunchy with the short cooking time, and it nicely complements the chewy texture of the quinoa. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
