A use for that leftover Quinoa

I have started using Quinoa because it is an awesome whole grain, and is a complete protein that is not meat. But there is always left overs, and I never know what to do with them. This is an awesome and yummy way to use Quinoa and get protien for breakfast.

Quinoa Cakes

1 cup cooked Quinoa
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 egg + one egg white
2 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Whisk together Quinoa, flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk together eggs, butter, milk and syrup until smooth. Add egg mixture to Quinoa mixture. Cook like pancakes. Makes about 12
