Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 drops of liquid stevia extract (adjust to taste)
Directions
Combine the cooked quinoa, baking powder, cinnamon, and pink Himalayan salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients
- Add the vanilla extract, crack the eggs into the bowl, and add 2-3 drops of liquid stevia extract. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, use coconut or avocado oil to grease
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through
Repeat with the remaining batter
Recipe Note
To make this Vegan:
- Substitute two eggs for two flax eggs (2 Tbsp flaxseed meal, 6 Tbsp of water)
- To make a flax egg: 1 Tbsp of flaxseed meal and 3 Tbsp of water, mix together and let it set for 15 minutes.
- Blend the batter in a blender for best results
Tips:
Another way to mix ingredients is to scramble the eggs with the spices and then fold in cooked quinoa

Made a double batch in the blender for a smoother taste. Sautéed the apples with honey and cinnamon for a great topping, incl blueberries. My husband ate two servings! I think next time I’ll blend the blueberries.
May Moose-Slack – how long do you bake it and at what oven temp? Thank you
I wish it tasted how it smells, but there’s no flavor. Drizzling with a bit of honey does help.
Blend all the ingredients to creamy consistency and bake. Top with fruit a little honey and kefir. Much better !!!
