Quinoa Pancakes (Gluten Free)

I created this recipe after developing food allergies to almost everything including rice which is the main ingredient in a lot of gluten-free baking. These pancakes are not only fluffy and delicious but have all the amazing nutrients found in quinoa!

Step: 1

Combine quinoa flour, tapioca flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, potato flour, potato starch, salt, baking soda, and xanthan gum in a large bowl.

Step: 2

Whisk water and egg together in a separate bowl. Pour over quinoa flour mixture; mix until batter is well blended. Mix in 3 tablespoons oil.

Step: 3

Heat 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/3 cup batter into the skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
