If you like to splurge a bit on weekends with a healthy brunch, these pancakes made with Quinoa are perfect. I experimented a few times and I think I perfected the recipe. These pancakes are easy to make, are light and are grain free. You can choose to add Stevia in the batter to sweeten them up or if you really want to splurge, you can add a little organic maple syrup. Email me and tell me what you think. Bon Appétit!
3 eggs
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Add the spices to the eggs and whisk for 1 minute.
Add the salt and soda to the quinoa and add the egg mixture.
Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Melt 1 Tbsp. coconut oil to a pan and heat moderately.
Drop batter from a large spoon and slowly cook. Once the bubbles on the batter open up on the top side, gently flip. It should be a gentle golden brown. Cook for a minute or 2 and voilà …you have delicious and nutritious grain free pancakes.
I am enjoying your site. Your recipes are great. I look forward to trying this one. Thank you for sharing. It is appreciated.
Thanks so much Yvonne. I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment. I always smile when I know that my “labor of love” is making a small difference.
Is it possible to put your recipes in print mode to print a recipe? This one looks really good. I also liked the baked beets recipe I saw the other day, but do not know how to get a copy. Thank you.
That is a great idea! I will contact my web designer and ask. in the meantime, you can copy and paste in word and print from there. Glad you are enjoying the recipes!
Isn’t quinoa a grain???
Great question. Quinoa is actually classified as a seed…so for those that are trying to go grain free, it is a perfect substitute.

Hi! Do you suppose I can substitute egg whites for the whole eggs and Xylitol for the Stevia and they would still turn out okay? How much Stevia or Xylitol should I use with this recipe and how many pancakes does this recipe make? Thanks.
I am not sure about the egg whites. As far as the Stevia versus xylitol, it really is a matter of preference. Taste the batter to see if it is sweet enough for you. This recipe made 8 medium sized pancakes. Glad you are enjoying the Delectable Dishes!
