Ingredients

  • 1. One and a half cups of quinoa flour
  • 2. A quarter cup of rich brown sugar
  • 3. A teaspoon of baking soda
  • 4. A teaspoon of warm ground cinnamon
  • 5. One teaspoon of aromatic ground allspice
  • 6. Half a teaspoon of fine salt
  • 7. Half a teaspoon of spicy ground ginger
  • 8. One and three-quarters cups of creamy buttermilk
  • 9. A cup of smooth pumpkin puree
  • 10. Two large eggs for richness
  • 11. Two tablespoons of versatile vegetable oil
  • 12. A handy spritz of cooking spray

Step 1

Combine the earthy quinoa flour with the sweetness of brown sugar, the warmth of cinnamon and allspice, a pinch of salt, and a hint of ginger in a generous bowl. Blend them all together to create a flavorful mix.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the tangy buttermilk, creamy pumpkin puree, eggs, and a drizzle of oil until they form a smooth liquid mixture. Gently pour this over the quinoa flour concoction and stir until the batter is just harmoniously combined.

Step 3

Get your nonstick skillet preheated over a medium flame and give it a light spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking. Ladle a quarter cup of the batter onto the skillet, allowing it to cook until bubbles appear and the edges start to set, roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip it over and continue cooking until the center springs back when gently pressed, usually taking about 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this process with the remaining batter to create a stack of deliciously fluffy pancakes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by storing your quinoa in an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent moisture from ruining its texture.
  2. 2. Keep your pancake mix in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and ensure it's ready to go whenever a craving strikes.
