Ingredients
Quinoa Blender Pancakes
1 cup quinoa, cooked and cooled
1 cup oats
2 large eggs
1 cup cashew or almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
coconut or olive oil/spray for frying
Whipping Cream
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Butter Maple Syrup
1/2 cup salted butter (one stick)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Mapleine (Imitation Maple Flavor – NOT extract)
Instructions
Quinoa Blender Pancakes
Combine all pancake ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Heat skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Once hot, pour your pancakes straight from blender onto skillet (or use a 1/4 cup to scoop your batter if you prefer.)
Cook until bubbles form and then flip and cook for another minute or two
Makes about 8-10 pancakes.
Whipping Cream
Add whipping cream ingredients to stand mixer (or in a bowl and use a hand mixer).
Whip until stiff peaks form.
Butter Maple Syrup
Add butter, sugar, milk and honey to a medium saucepan.
Bring to a roiling boil (takes about 5 minutes) and then boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add baking soda, stirring vigorously with a whisk. The syrup will foam up as soon as the baking soda is added.
Once completely incorporated and the foam has settled down a little, add in the vanilla extract and Mapleine.
Continue whisking all ingredients are incorporated and then let rest for a few minutes until the foam settles down.
Serve warm or cold (I like to serve after about 5-10 minutes, once the syrup has cooled just a little and thickened.)
Store in an airtight container. Lasts in the fridge for a few weeks, also freezes great!
