My daughter and daughter-in-law got me hooked on quinoa. I dressed up a regular pancake recipe to create these delicious apple-cinnamon breakfast treats. The shredded apple remains slightly crunchy with the short cooking time, and it nicely complements the chewy texture of the quinoa. —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg white, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium Gala apple, shredded
  • 1 cup ready-to-serve quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon butter or canola oil

Directions

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, whisk together egg, egg white, almond milk, syrup, canola oil and vanilla. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in apple and quinoa.

Test Kitchen tip
  • If you can't find ready-to-serve quinoa, simply simmer 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water until tender.
