Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love

These pancakes are light, airy, and packed with wholesome ingredients. The pumpkin adds natural sweetness and moisture, while quinoa gives a boost of protein and texture. They make a comforting and nutritious breakfast that feels special without extra effort.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Use cooked quinoa that is slightly cooled for the best texture.
- Be gentle when flipping to keep the pancakes fluffy and prevent breaking.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little milk to reach the desired consistency.

Step 1

In a big bowl, combine the quinoa flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, and oil until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until everything is just combined—you don’t want to overmix.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on top and the edges look set, which usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until they spring back when you press the center.

Step 3

Keep going with the rest of the batter, adding more cooking spray if needed, and enjoy warm!

Serving Ideas To Try

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas pairs beautifully. A dollop of Greek yogurt or nut butter can add extra creaminess and flavor.

Freezing Tips

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in a toaster or microwave. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw before warming.
