Quinoa pancakes

Quinoa pancakes 

Ingredients:

(makes 4-6 large pancakes)

1/2 cup cooked quinoa (i used white, but red or black quinoa could be used)

1/2 cup wholemeal flour

2 tsp baking soda

1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1/4 cup frozen blueberries

1 egg

1/2-3/4 cup skim milk (depending on how thick you want the pancakes)

4 tblsp light cream cheese

2 tblsp vanilla protein powder

Method:

Combine flour, protein powder and baking powder in one bowl then add the cooked quinoa. In another bowl, whisk the egg and add the milk and blueberries. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix it as it will become tough.

Using a light coat of olive oil, cook about 1/4 cup of the mixture in a non-stick pan, flipping the pancake over when bubbles form.

Use an electric hand beater to combine the light cream cheese with the protein powder.

Serve the pancakes with the cream cheese or fresh fruit and nuts.

Enjoy!
