Quinoa Bean Pumpkin Pancakes

Photobucket

I came across this recipe at one of my favorite recipe sites, keyingredient.com. I adapted the recipe a bit, adding bean flour to the quinoa flour (you can make your own bean flour in a grain grinder or a Vita-Mix blender), and making my own sour milk using cider vinegar, as described below. These pancakes have an amazing 11 grams of protein per serving! Enjoy!

  3. That's a brilliant idea. My baby girl loves pancakes and this would be a great way to make them healthier. I've never heard of quinoa flour, could I just grind regular quinoa to make this?

  5. These pancakes are seriously delectable - the first time I made them, I didn't have any white-bean flour, so I just used quinoa flour, and they were awesome. I thought you had a fresh blueberry syrup recipe accompanying this a while back when I first saw it.
