Quinoa Blueberry Pancakes

Quinoa Blueberry Pancakes

Posted 2013-04-09 by Lucy follow
This is one delicious "superfood" breakfast. The blueberries are packed with anti oxidants and the quinoa contains all the Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) making it a complete protein. These pancakes are extremely wholesome and hearty, so I think you need the sweetness of the sauce to lighten things up a bit. You could also add some agave syrup or maple syrup for a little extra sweetness. For this recipe, I soaked the batter overnight as this softens the grains and makes them more easily digestible. I used cow's milk, but you could make these dairy free by adding rice or almond milk.

Quinoa and Blueberry Pancake Stack


Preparation Time: 10 minutes (plus soaking overnight)
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 6 - 8 servings

Soak the quinoa overnight


Ingredients
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups milk (cow's milk or rice milk or almond milk)
1 egg
3/4 cup wholemeal flour (spelt flour or buckwheat flour)
1 tablespoons yoghurt
Butter (for frying)

Blueberry Topping:
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup filtered water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons caster sugar

Ingredients ready to prepare


Method
  • Soak the uncooked quinoa and flour in the milk of your choice overnight.
  • Next morning, mix in the egg, yoghurt and extra milk if you think your batter is still too dry.

  • Quinoa sizzling in the pan


  • Heat a fry pan and add a teaspoon of butter or oil.
  • Spoon a dollop of mixture into the fry pan and flip it over when golden.
  • Cook the other side and cook your way through the rest of the mixture. By the end, you will have a lovely stack of pancakes.

  • Healthy, delicious pancake stack


  • Add the blueberry topping ingredients to a saucepan.
  • Heat the blueberries so that their color "runs" and the sugar dissolves.
  • Pour the sweet blueberry topping onto your pancake stack and serve hot with yoghurt (or maybe ice cream if you're feeling indulgent). Enjoy each mouthful of fruity goodness.

  • Top with tasty blueberries
