Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in the 1 cup cooked quinoa until well combined.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, beat the 1 egg, then whisk in the 1 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter will be lumpy.

  3. Step 3

    Fold in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips gently. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly grease the hot skillet with a little butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, cooking in batches without crowding the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 1-2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting heat if needed to prevent burning. Serve warm with extra butter, syrup, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips if desired.
