Better-than-Bisquick Quinoa Pancakes
Recipe from Marie Donadio
Ingredients
- 240g quinoa flour
- 25g baking powder
- 1g baking soda
- 30mL light-flavored oil, such as sunflower
- 70g raw cashews
- 480mL warm water
- 5mL vanilla extract
- 5mL lemon juice or 1/4 tsp 1g ascorbic acid crystals dissolved in 2 Tbsp 30mL warm water
- 5mL maple syrup
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together quinoa flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In blender, grind nuts to a fine powder, pausing to scrape under the blades 2–3 times. Add to blender: water, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and maple syrup and blend 3–4 minutes. Pour liquids over dry ingredients and whisk a few times, eliminating lumps. If batter is too thick, add water as necessary.
- Pour a scant 1/4 cup (60mL) of batter onto hot non-stick griddle (heated until water dances on it) for each pancake. Serve with fruit sauce or applesauce.
Variations: Add 1–2 Tbsp (10–20g) flaxseed into the blender with the cashews. For a heavier buckwheat sourdough pancake, replace up to 1 cup (120g) of quinoa flour with buckwheat flour and use 2 Tbsp (25g) baking powder.
