Quinoa Flake Pancakes (Gluten-Free, Low-FODMAP)

Pancakes on Saturday morning are a long-time tradition in my family. Since I was a little girl, my dad expertly flipped pancakes every Saturday morning. I was recently thinking about that and recalled a memory from my childhood. One Saturday morning when I was maybe six or seven years old, I was so excited for pancakes I wolfed them down too fast and I fainted when all of the sugar from the syrup hit my system. I remember my mom waking me up on the bathroom floor. Ahhhh, good times. I was a weird kid.


Even now as a (weird) adult I have a passion for pancakes. I’m constantly trying out and coming up with new recipes. And photographing them. I love the challenge of photographing pancakes dripping with syrup.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup lactose-free milk (almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or vegan margarine for dairy-free)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup quinoa flakes (or gluten-free quick oats)
  • 1/2 cup White Rice Flour Blend (or other gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Combine the milk and lemon juice or vinegar in a small bowl and let sit to sour the milk.
  • In a large bowl, combine the quinoa flakes or oats, flour blend, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Whisk the melted butter and egg into the soured milk. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir well. Let batter thicken for several minutes. Add more milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  • Heat a griddle to 375 degrees F or large skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray if needed. For each pancake pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle. Flip when they start to bubble. Cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batches, spraying the skillet as needed. Makes 6 to 8 pancakes.

  7. I designed this recipe to be gluten-free, so I'm not sure if using regular flour would work in this case.

     
  8. It worked great with regular flour as well…

  10. Hello! This is recipe is the Bomb! Can I freeze the cooked pancakes or put them in the fridge?

    Thank you!!

     
  11. Yes, I freeze pancakes all the time!

     
  12. So good! Thanks. My batter was a bit thin, so I also added 1 1/2 Tbsp flaxmeal. And instead of sugar added mushed banana with a dolop of pure maple syrup. Yum!
