I was inspired to make quinoa pancakes after a very special breakfast with friends sharing and connecting over good food and coffee.  It was part of a weekend fostering relationships and community and fed my soul.  Hearing the struggles and celebrating the triumphs with others is what life is about…it allows us be seen and know we are not alone.  I love tying it all together with some great food.  This recipe brings back those sweet times with friends! I adapted it from a King Author Flour recipe.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup almond milk (or regular milk)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 fresh peach, diced

1 cup blueberries

Stir together the flour, quinoa, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients whisk until well combined.  Fold in the peaches and blueberries.  Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Bake on each side until light brown.  Serve with butter and maple syrup and a great cup of coffee!  Enjoy!
