Dear Everybody,
today I thought I'd share with you a recipe I tried out yesterday for the first time. I was looking for healthier pancake options and stumbled across recipes using Chia or Quinoa. As my host family already had Quinoa seeds at home, I thought I would give it a go. So here's what you'll need:
1 cup of cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon of baking powder
half a teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
half a cup of flour
1 teaspoon oil
1 cup of milk
1 tabelspoon of Maple Syrup
First you'll need to cook your Quinoa just like you would cook rice. Then mix the Quinoa with the flour and baking powder. Afterwards add the oil, cinnamon, Maple Syrup and vanilla for a nice taste. Go in with the milk and stir it all together. You might need to add a bit more flour depending on the consistency of your batter. Fry your pancakes in a pan on a medium heat and you created a protein filled, healthy breakfast or lunch. Now just top your pancakes however you like. I had Nutella, bananas and fresh strawberries (which I bought yesterday morning in a little independent fruit and veg shop on our High Street, while the sun was shining beautifully and the sky was clear blue: One of my first and best spring memories).
See you!
