Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa flourn*
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons aquafaba chickpea brine, or substitute with a mixture of 1 tablespoon ground flax seed combined with 3 tablespoons of water. Let set 15 minutes before using.**
  • Oil for cooking
  • Chocolate chips
  • Sliced fruit
  • Syrup
  • Whipped topping
  • Chocolate sauce

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the non-dairy milk and lemon juice to prepare "buttermilk." Let sit 5 minutes. 
  • In a mixing bowl combine the maple syrup, vanilla extract, oil and aquafaba.
  • Add the buttermilk and beat/whisk lightly until slightly frothy.
  • Combine the quinoa flour and baking powder before adding it to the wet mixture. Stir gently to break up any lumps of flour, but be careful not to over-stir.
  • Heat a skillet to high heat, grease lightly with oil, and scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Add any add-ons desired.
  • Cook until you see air bubbles form across the surface and the edges begin to brown, then flip and brown the other side. For a crepe-like pancake, use a spatula to spread out the batter across a large pan to create a thin pancake.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup and whipped topping.
  • *To Make Your Own Quinoa Flour: 
  • Toast dry quinoa gently in a skillet, then blend thouroughly in a food processor until it becomes like flour.
  • ** Passover Note: Aquafaba and possibly flax seeds are kitniyot, and therefore not eaten by Ashkenazim on Passover. If you are not vegan, you can use 1 egg instead.
