Amaranth Pancakes Recipe

These light and fluffy amaranth pancakes are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast favorite! Inspired by Bob's Red Mill amaranth flour, this recipe delivers a subtly sweet and uniquely textured pancake that's surprisingly similar to sopapillas. Enjoy them with your favorite syrup, honey, or agave nectar for a low-glycemic alternative. They're also fantastic as dessert crepes, topped with fresh fruit and a scoop of ice cream. A fantastic way to incorporate whole grains into your diet and cut back on refined white flour. Experiment with different oils – coconut (melted if solid), olive, or grape seed oil all work wonderfully.

How to Make Amaranth Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk (or orange juice for a tangy twist), and 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or olive/grape seed oil).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups Bob's Red Mill amaranth flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon during cooking for an added warmth.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, fresh fruit, and whipped cream.
