Oh pancakes, how much do I love and need thee in my life? Ok, maybe a little dramatic. But really, I do need them.

Wheat Free Quinoa Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup oat flour see notes
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
Instructions
- Combine the oat and rice flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and oil.
- Add the egg/milk mixture to the flour mix. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in quinoa.
- Cook on a medium-high heat griddle, about 2-3 minutes each side, or until you see the bubbles popping.
Notes
- Leftover quinoa is perfect for this recipe. If you are making quinoa for dinner the night before, just make a little extra, and it will be ready for you to use in the morning!
- You can make your own oat flour (I do). Using a food processor, just grind down old fashioned rolled oats until they are a course flour like consistency.
- These pancakes can be completely gluten free if you use gluten free oats.
Pour on some maple syrup, and you are in breakfast heaven. Amen.
Oh, and on a completely way off tangent…I have to mention that I’m going to see Oprah speak tonight! I can barely contain myself honestly. This will be a bucket list check off fo’ sho’! Great start to 2013 already! Yay!
Have a delicious day!
