I made the pancakes and skipped the topping. I followed this recipe exactly and after mixing the ingredients all together, I ended up with something that resembled cookie dough. It seemed way too dry and thick for pancakes. I decided to trust the recipe and put a spoonful on the griddle. No good. I added a half cup of milk and another egg to the remaining mix and it turned out OK. I'll probably cut down on the cinnamon a little next time if I try this one again.

I made a few substitutions since I lacked the ingredients. I ground my own steel cut oats & substituted oat flour for the quinoa flour. I did not have vanilla yogurt & used Apple Pie flavored [ from Aldi's]. I then added a 1/2 cut chopped walnuts. But the basic pancake was surprisingly light & fluffy! Why use a packaged pancake mix when a healthy alternative is easy, tasty & at your fingertips?

I just made the pancakes -- not the berry/yogurt topping. I had cut back a little on the cinnamon (2 tsp instead of 1 tbsp) because while I love cinnamon, first thing in the morning it can overwhelm my husband a little. I had added a second egg because we had some pretty small ones (farmer's market eggs don't always equate 1:1 with store-bought) and I was assuming this was supposed to use a large egg, since the size wasn't specified. The cakes were very filling & had a nice flavor & texture. Will definitely make them again.

These came out ok, I used cornmeal and baking soda for powder. The result was a very crunchy puffy pancake. I think it was a good recipe and will make it again but I think with all things quinoa/cornmeal it's best if you let it sit for a while before you cook with it. Next time I will have this maybe prepared the night before so it has a chance to really soak up some of the liquids and pick up the flavor.

These were delicious and so pretty! I couldn't find quinoa flour but found quinoa 'flakes' so used that. This caused the pancakes to be a bit crispy on the outside so use flour if you can find it. I added chopped walnuts to mine because I love that crunch in my pancakes and also topped them with extra maple syrup for my overactive sweet tooth. Outstanding and so nutritious! All 3 of us wanted seconds and I ran out of batter and berries too soon.

These are very good if you're looking for a healthier alternative to regular pancakes. Or if you are just tired of r regular pancakes and want something more interesting. Mine were thick and perfect pancake texture. The only change I made was using sugar instead of Splenda. I didn't have the topping stuff, so my review is just for the pancakes. Most people will probably put their favorite pancake toppings on them anyway. Though, I do think the berries and yogurt would be really good.
