Hear is a recipe of healthy pancakes made with whole wheat and quinoa flour. I have also added vegetables, bean sprouts, avocado, flax seeds which makes them all the more healthier and flavourful. You can find the quinoa flour easily these days. If you don't have you can grind the quinoa grains in a dry grinder / coffee grinder at home.
This recipe is part of the , "Shhhhh Cooking Secretly" challenge where a group of bloggers are paired with a different partner each month. They choose two secret ingredients from the chosen theme and we have to prepare the dish using them.
