QUINOA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, water, eggs, vanilla and 1 tablespoon syrup. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry and whisk until a few lumps remain. Fold in the quinoa.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a bit of oil or butter and scoop 1/4 cup rounds of the batter on the griddle. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side or until little bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional minute. Remove to a plate and keep warm while preparing the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and more pure maple syrup.

ZUCCHINI-POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Shred the zucchini into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer zucchini to a colander in a bowl and let zucchini drain at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Using your hands or a towel, squeeze out the excess liquid.
• Shred the potato into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater.
• In a bowl, mix together the onion, egg, and flour, and pepper to taste. Add zucchini and potatoes; mix well. Work quickly because the zucchini-potato mixture oxidizes and discolors once hit by the fresh air.
• Heat 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot enough to create a small sizzle, ladle the mixture into the pan to form six 4-inch cakes. Fry until golden on the bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes over until browned on the second side, about 6 minutes longer.
• Serve at once with a dollop of sour cream.
