Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice flour or gluten-free flour 
  • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder 
  • ½ tsp baking soda 
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt 
  • ⅔ cup coconut yogurt (see Note)
  • ⅓ cup water 
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature 
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
  • 3 tsp (15 ml) pure maple syrup, plus more for serving 
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled 
  • Coconut oil or grapeseed oil, for the pan 
  • Unsalted butter, for serving, optional (see Note)
  • Fresh fruit or chocolate chips, for serving, optional 
Makes about 15 pancakes.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, water, eggs, vanilla and 3 teaspoons maple syrup. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry and whisk until a few lumps remain. Fold in the quinoa.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a bit of oil and scoop ¼ cup rounds of the batter on the griddle. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side or until little bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional minute. Remove to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  4. Serve warm with butter, more pure maple syrup and fruit or other toppings, if desired.  

Note

• To make this recipe dairy-free as well as gluten-free, use a dairy-free coconut yoghurt and non-dairy 'butter' and chocolate to serve (if using).
