Method:
Start by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly and then cooking it until tender according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool.
In a bowl, mix together the plain flour, cooled quinoa, vanilla protein powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then pour everything into the second bowl with the flour mixture and other ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly until you get a smooth batter.
Next, heat a pan with coconut oil or spray it with cooking spray and pour about one-third of the batter onto it. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
Serve the cooked pancakes topped with Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chopped almonds, and sliced strawberries.
Our tip: You can also enhance the pancakes with sweet Zero syrups.
