Currant Quinoa You-Decides

December 23, 2014 by Sarah

Quinoa Cakes

To give ye abundant energy to make the most of your time with loved ones this holiday season… and maybe to open up a couple presents too.

So when I set out to make these quinoa pancakes, I knew I was taking myself on a little breakfast adventure. Turns out quinoa pancakes are not easy to make into actual pancakes.

Maybe it was my impatience.

Or my batter. But the batter was so yummy.

I couldn’t just discard the recipe just because the pancakes were little stinkers.. so after burning my finger and trying to flip the little silver dollar cakes, I decided to just place the rest of the batter into the pan and make the other half into a quinoa scramble:

So this batter recipe is here for you to decide between the cakes or the scramble.

Personally, I liked the taste of the cakes better; they were kind of funner to eat.

But the scramble was easier and took way less time, there’s a decreased risk of injury (hehe), and it was tasty nonetheless!!

Adding thinly sliced bananas to either and a touch of pure maple syrup is totally divine.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Serves: 2-3 servings
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup quinoa
  • 4 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp allspice and/or clove (I did both)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 dates, soaked for at least 15 mins
  • handful of black currants, soaked for at least 15 mins
  • 1 tbsp. almond butter
  • coconut oil for cooking
Instructions
  1. Start by soaking the dates and currants. I soaked the currants to make them more plump and juicy.
  2. Combine all the ingredients together and mix well.
  3. Place small amounts into the pan (a heaping spoonful) and flip when bubbles start coming through. It takes a little longer than regular pancakes.
  4. You can also make a quinoa scramble instead of the silver dollar pancakes by pouring all the batter in the pan and cooking it like you would scrambled eggs.
