Steps:
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, water, eggs, vanilla and 1 tablespoon syrup. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry and whisk until a few lumps remain. Fold in the quinoa.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a bit of oil or butter and scoop 1/4 cup rounds of the batter on the griddle. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side or until little bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional minute. Remove to a plate and keep warm while preparing the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and more pure maple syrup.
QUINOA BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES
I tweaked a classic pancake recipe to use buckwheat flour, then included quinoa flour for the great nutty taste. A great-tasting, gluten-free breakfast treat that's great with some blueberry or other fruit syrup. This recipe converted my wife from a non-pancake eater! Keep finished pancakes warm on a plate in a 150 degree F (65 degree C) oven while cooking the rest of the batter.
