Ingredients
Instructions
-
Sift together oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, erythritol and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk the egg and egg whites. Add the almond milk and vinegar, whisk together, then whisk in the vanilla extract and the oil.
-
Add the oat bran mixture to the wet ingredients, and quickly whisk together. Do not overbeat; a few lumps are fine. Fold in the quinoa.
-
Heat a griddle over medium-hot heat. If necessary, spritz with olive oil. Drop 3 to 4 tablespoons onto the hot griddle. Place six to eight blueberries on each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to break through, two to three minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for about a minute or until nicely browned. Remove from the heat, and continue cooking until all of the batter is used up.
-
Serve hot with zero-calorie maple syrup.
