Quinoa flour is made from finely ground quinoa. That means it has all the same nutritional benefits of the superfood quinoa! Packed with protein, fiber, iron and antioxidants, this delicate flour lends health benefits to your baking. Substitute quinoa flour for half of the all-purpose flour in many recipes or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie recipes.

Quinoa Flour Pancakes

Ingredients: 2 cups organic quinoa flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 2 cups + 1 tbsp water, 2 tbsp vegetable oil.

Cooking Directions: Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add liquids and whisk to mix. Preheat pancake griddle until a drop of water will “dance” on it. (Oil or spray griddle as needed). Spoon batter onto hot griddle to make pancakes about 4-5” across. Turn when edges seem dry (they won’t brown much because they don’t contain sugar). Keep cakes warm while you cook remaining cakes (or cool on racks to use as flatbread). Batter may thicken as it stands. Before spooning subsequent rounds of cakes on the griddle, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water as needed. Makes 12 pancakes.

There are approximately 4 cups per pound.
