Method
- Wash the quinoa. Fill a bowl with water and add the quinoa. Let it soak for 12-24 hours.
- 24 hours later, drain the quinoa. Rinse and strain.
- Transfer to a blender and add the oats, ¼ cup shredded coconut, almond milk, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking powder and ground cinnamon.
- Beat in the blender for 50 seconds on high speed. Turn blender off and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Beat for another 10 seconds or long enough for the mixture to become smooth.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- Add the remaining shredded coconut and lemon zest. Stir with a spatula to combine.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to a slightly heated pan. Add about ¼ cup of the mixture. (Use the back side of a spoon to spread the mixture in the pan.)
- Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes or until it turns golden. Flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue with the rest of the pancakes.
- Keep the pancakes warm in the oven, set to 100* C (200* F), until they are all ready to serve.
- Serve with maple syrup or honey and fresh seasonal fruit with a dash of tumeric
Quinoa together with oats and coconut replace the flour in the recipe making it totaly gluten free.
Also it is dairy free as there is no milk in our recipe...
And last but not least tumeric is one of the weapons that we have against many ailments.
Tip
You can add more aroma by adding the zest of a lemon in the batter
