COOKED QUINOA PANCAKES INGREDIENTS 

Cooked quinoa

Flour (you can use all purpose, all purpose einkorn or 1:1 gluten-free)

THE BENEFITS OF ADDING QUINOA

Quinoa is naturally gluten free. If you choose to use a gluten-free flour in this recipe, you’ll get a 100% gluten-free pancake recipe! Quinoa is also high in protein, fiber, it contains amino acids and has more vitamins than many other grains. Adding quinoa to your pancake recipe adds such a nutritional boost!

CAN I FREEZE PANCAKES

Absolutely! I love making a big batch of it and freeze it for busy mornings! Simply place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap or foil and place in the freezer. Once the pancakes have frozen, you can easily stack them up and place in a ziplock bag. You can reheat them in the toaster, oven or a microwave!

 EASY MANGO COMPOTE

This easy mango compote is such a great addition to the pancakes! You can use either fresh or frozen mangos and make it in less than 15 minutes! The mango compote makes a great topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream and more!
