Lemon Quinoa Pancakes

This is a great recipe if you’re a quinoa fan. You can even change the ingredients around and turn it into a savory pancake with a little parmesan cheese and sea salt if you’d like. We made this lemon version for breakfast and it was delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 2 eggs
• the zest of 1 lemon
• coconut oil for frying

Directions:

1. mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Heat your skillet with a liberal amount of coconut oil
3. Pour batter to form small pancakes
4. Cook for a few minutes on medium heat and wait for them to firm up a little before flipping
5. serve!

This would probably be great topped with a dollop of full fat greek yogurt with a bit of raw honey mixed in! Leftovers also make great lunchbox snacks.
