These fluffy blueberry quinoa pancakes have great texture from quinoa flour and fresh or frozen blueberries.

Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes
These fluffy blueberry quinoa pancakes have great texture from quinoa flour and fresh or frozen blueberries.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour or whole-wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup quinoa flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons (24g) granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240 mL) Kefir or buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter melted, plus more for cooking
- ¾ cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- warm maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together the all purpose flour, quinoa flower, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt in large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until the flour has just been absorbed; do not over mix.
- Heat a tab of butter in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter begins to sizzle, add batter to pan to desired size. Gently top and distribute blueberries onto the top of each pancake. Look for small bubbles begin to form on the top of the pancake – this is the signature sign to start flipping. Carefully flip and continue to cook on other side until golden.
- Serve pancakes with hot maple syrup.

This recipe sounds delicious and I am going to try it. When I do I will let you know how it went.
Oh my goodness. I have been cooking with Quinoa for a while now, and never thought to do this with it. I am going to try the flour, and substitute them into cookies too. YAY!!! HEALTHY COOKIES!!!
I love hearing that people want to try out my recipes! That made my day. Buckwheat pancakes are another favorite of mine, definitely let me know how it turns out. Hope they like them!

Love, Love, Love quinoa. I cannot wait to make these. My friend’s daughter is insulin resistant and I have been developing recipes for them. I am going to try these with buckwheat flour rather than the white flour…will let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by to say hi (and for your sweet comment), I love hearing from new people. Wow! I can’t believe they were out of quinoa–fortunately, I’ve never run into that problem before. Hopefully there isn’t a quinoa shortage coming soon! 🙂 Let me know how you like it, if you end up trying it in the future.

Mmm, this looks fantastic! I actually went to the health food store today with the intention of buying quinoa and go figure, they were out :/
Ooh! I’m glad you like it, you could also make these plain–they were equally as good that way! Let me know what you think!
AWESOME!! That sounds good 🙂 I’ve never baked with quiona flour before
AWESOME! I’ve got an old bag of quinoa flour I need to use up pronto. I just haven’t really been able to find a recipe that actually tastes good!
Monique — They were incredibly light and fluffy, I was really impressed. I’m definitely going to try more recipes with quinoa flour in the future!
Caroline–Thanks buddy!
oooh the picture under step #7 is pretty!
Thanks for commenting! Be sure to let me know how it works out.
Looks good! I have never made my own quinoa flour before, but I think I am going to give it a try. I always have a big costco size bag of quinoa on hand in my pantry. Thanks for sharing!
