How to Make Quinoa Pancakes Or Waffles Gluten Free

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup quinoa flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate 2-cup non-metal measuring cup or small bowl, combine 1/2 cup apple juice, 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or coconut), and 2 tablespoons honey.
  3. Microwave the liquid mixture for 15-20 seconds to slightly warm and soften the honey (skip this step if omitting honey).
  4. Add 1/2 cup grated apple and 1 large egg to the warm liquid mixture. Whisk to combine.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more apple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. For waffles: Increase oil to 2 tablespoons and pour batter into a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup or applesauce.
