Quinoa pancakes and breakfast oatmeal

 Trying to be healthier and so I tried some recipes using quinoa.  I was skeptical but found that I actually liked the things I made and even better the kids liked them too!  We liked the pancakes so much I made a double batch and we have been eating them for snacks!

I adapted this recipe from the pajama chef found here.  So here is the recipe that I made:

1 C cooked quinoa

3/4 C Whole Wheat flour*

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 C Milk ( i used 2% 'cause that is what we drink)

1 Large egg + 1 Large egg white

1 TBLSP Apple Sauce*

1 1/2 TBLSP Agave*

2 TBLSP Flaxmeal

*then I added to taste: Vanilla, cinnamon, blueberries, red huckleberries, and shredded apples (I picked the berries last summer)

*the ingredients marked are the ones I changed or subbed

they are thick, so I cooked them at a low heat

ry liked them for breakfast with syrup

They are awesome for a snack to take along 

 For the oatmeal, I just boiled 2 C of milk and then added 1 C of quinoa, let it cook til done then added vanilla, cinnamon, blueberries, huckleberries, and bananas, the fruit definitely made it edible!

Applesauce Yogurt muffins

We made these delisious muffins this morning!  Here is the link to the recipe.  Finally found a healthy yummy breakfast muffin!  She says that the batter won't make 12, but it did for me.  I will use some flax meal next time for a little of the applesauce to get some more HEALTHY in them, but they are rocking good!
