Eggless Quinoa Nutty Pancake is a delicious, yum, healthy and most commonly suits everyone from kids till elders. I have infused nuts along with this pancake to get little crunchiness, a trick to make kids consume nuts. I have boiled the quinoa and used in the pancake, you can also save time by boiling it in your free time, following by refrigeration, so that it stays fresh for few days.

Making of Eggless Nutty Quinoa Pancake –

Preparation:

• Rinse the quinoa in water for 4 to 5 times, otherwise it would give slight bitterness to the dish.
• Boil 3 cups of water, add the rinsed quinoa, cover and cook until the quinoa turns soft and fluffy. It would increase in size once its boiled.
• Crush the walnuts and almonds/badam to a coarse powder and keep it aside.
• In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of boiled quinoa, wheat flour, a tbsp. of butter, baking powder, salt, pour in the honey, coconut milk and milk, mix it all together and make sure no lumps are formed.
• Heat a pan, add ¼ tsp of butter, spread it all over the pan, pour a spoonful of batter, at the center of the pan and spread it gently to a small circle.
• Drizzle butter along the sides and little over top of the pancake.
• Cook only in medium flame, otherwise it would get burnt.
• After it starts leaving the sides of the pan, gently flip the side and cook on both sides.
• Again drizzle, ¼ tsp of butter along the sides of the pan.
• Remove it from fire, once it cooked.

Serve it hot with Honey or Maple syrup or Palm jaggery syrup or Hershey’s chocolate syrup. I have served it with palm jaggery syrup, as I have not added sugar to it.
