QUINOA PANCAKES (GLUTEN FREE)

Quinoa Pancakes (Gluten Free) image

I created this recipe after developing food allergies to almost everything including rice which is the main ingredient in a lot of gluten-free baking. These pancakes are not only fluffy and delicious but have all the amazing nutrients found in quinoa!
