Quinoa Pancakes

About The Dish

Dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, pancakes have been the most popular and also a sustainable delicacy. Pancakes are known to be a nutritious and wholesome breakfast, which keeps the stomach full and the body energised. There are different options such as buckwheat, oats, almond, spelt, quinoa, chestnut, coconut, gram or rice. One of my favourite preparations is the quinoa pancake which tastes amazing and looks appetizing at the same time. Quinoa is a superfood and a good source of protein.

· Ingredients:

· 1 cup quinoa flour

· 2 teaspoons baking powder

· ½ teaspoon baking soda

· ¾ cup Greek yoghurt

· ½ cup almond milk · ½ mashed ripe banana · 3 tablespoons honey · 1 tablespoon vanilla extract · 1 egg · Butter

Method:

· Take a pan and add a dollop of butter

· Using a spoon, pour the pancake mixture on the pan and spread evenly to make fluffy pancakes
