Gluten-free, dairy-free pancakes
40g quinoa flour
6 egg whites or 200ml liquid egg whites
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp xylitol
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp coconut oil
5g agave syrup
50g raspberries
Place first 5 ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with an electric beater, or place in a blender and whizz up.
Heat a large pan to medium hot and add coconut oil.
Use 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out batter for individual 'hotcakes' or just pour the whole lot in to the pan to make one large pancake.
Flip when the batter has bubbled around the edges and is almost set in the middle.
Once cooked through, remove from pan and add syrup and berries.

I get Lotus quinoa flour from Greenline or Evelyn Faye (cnr Bourke & Elizabeth St) in Melbourne. The agave syrup, coconut oil and xylitol are also available at Evelyn Faye but I've seen the coconut oil and xylitol at other health food stores. If you are having trouble finding agave syrup you could try here.
Today I subsituted the quinoa flour for 1 serve (37.5g) of Orgran Gluten Free Buckwheat Pancake mix (available at Coles), and liked it better as the mix has a raising agent in it, and a milder taste than the quinoa.

***Edit: Kek has suggested as an alternative to the pancake mix, you can use buckwheat flour, rice flour (about half and half) and a little gluten-free baking powder. See her blueberry buckwheat pancakes here***

They look yummy, Charlotte. As an alternative to the pancake mix, you can use buckwheat flour, rice flour (about half and half) and a little gluten-free baking powder.
Do you find coconut oil at the supermarket? I've never seen it.

Half quinoa, half rice flour or half ameranth flour, half quinoa is good too. I really love the nutty taste of quinoa though.
I even used the quinoa flour to dust salt and pepper squid for my dinner the other night and it was delicious, drizzled with grapefruit juice, olive oil and lots of fresh salad.
Is this food porn for figure girls or what!
I was inspired to pick up some buckwheat pancake mix at Safeway today. I saw it a few weeks ago and then forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder.... I figure it'll make a good shortcut for when I can't be bothered with making them from scratch.
I'm thinking: add egg whites, blueberries and they'll be good to go. :p
I'll go hunt down some coconut oil later in the week. I'm loving trying new things - must give agave syrup a go!
I've looked for agave syrup in the past-where do you find it at?
Oh-I tried your garlic chicken the other night-2 thumbs up!
Thanks for the agave tip!
I'll check it out!
One last thing...:)
Do you use the dark agave or the light?
Cheers!
