My daughter makes amazing Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes – did I say amazing? Okay just checking because they are. The quinoa gives these cakes extra protein power.
I’ve recently discovered that due to food allergies I need to take it easy on the dairy and eggs so I was inspired to keep the integrity of her recipe but make it something that works a bit better for my body. I came up with this version using no dairy and only 1 egg. Keep in mind that my recipe is cut in half from hers.
