QUINOA PANCAKES with STRAWBERRIES and HONEY
Adapted from PopSugar
Serves: 2 to 3 (makes roughly 12-14 small pancakes)

Ingredients:
♦ 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
♦ 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
♦ 2 tsp baking powder
♦ 1/2 tsp course salt
♦ 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
♦ 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
♦ 1/3 cup low-fat milk (or substitute, like almond)

Topping of choice:
Honey and strawberries (sliced), for example

Directions:
Mix together the quinoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together the egg, egg white, butter and milk in a separate bow, and add the egg mixture to the quinoa – stir to combine thoroughly. If necessary, add a splash of milk if the mixture is too dry.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat – add a pat of butter, and melt until the butter coats the skillet in a thin layer. Carefully scoop a 2-3 tbsp heap of batter into the pan, using the back of the spoon to flatten. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the underside – another 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, and move the pancakes to a small plate. Quickly wipe the pan clean, and repeat the process, keeping the heat closer to medium to avoid burning.

Top the pancakes with honey and strawberries, and enjoy!
