Quinoa Pancakes
  1. Note: this recipe makes a small batter that blends much better in a narrow jug like a NutriBullet. For a high-speed blender with a large jug like Vitamix, I recommend doubling the recipe so the batter volume is bigger and easy to blend.

  2. Place the uncooked quinoa in a bowl and soak overnight or at least 1 hour at room temperature. The longer you soak quinoa, the easier it gets to blend and the easier you can digest it.

  3. Drain over a sieve and rinse the quinoa under cold tap water. Transfer the drained quinoa to the jug of a blender.

  4. Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender, except the baking powder.

  5. Blend on high speed, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed, until it forms a smooth, thick, slightly grainy pancake batter. You should not see any piece of quinoa. It should be ground. It's normal if the batter looks gritty.

  6. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and stir in baking powder.

  7. Warm a pancake skillet over medium heat, grease the surface with cooking spray, then pour 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake.

  8. Cook 2-3 minutes on one side, or until light bubbles form on top and it gets easy to flip.

  9. Flip and cook the pancake for another 1-2 minutes until cooked in the center, fluffy, and soft.

  10. Serve as a stack with fruits and maple syrup.
