Sweet Potato Pancakes with Rhubarb Maple Syrup

Fluffy and not too sweet, these pancakes are made with quinoa flour for a great gluten-free brunch option.




Ingredients
2 cups (500 mL) quinoa flour
½ cup (125 mL) cornstarch
1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
Sea salt, to taste
1 egg
1 cup (250 mL) cooked and mashed sweet potato (from about 1 sweet potato, peeled, chopped, cooked and mashed)
¾ cup (175 mL) unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp (25 mL) melted coconut oil or butter
1½ cups (375 mL) non-fat milk

Rhubarb Maple Syrup
4 cups (1 L) chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb stalks
½ cup (125 mL) pure maple syrup
¼ tsp (1 mL) ground ginger
Directions
Rhubarb Maple Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring rhubarb, maple syrup, ginger and 1/3 cup (75 mL) water to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit is very soft and sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk egg, sweet potato, applesauce and coconut oil; whisk in milk. Add flour mixture, stirring just until combined. 

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat; mist with cooking spray. Working in batches, spoon scant ½ cup (125 mL) batter per pancake into skillet, spreading to about ½-inch (1 cm) thickness. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and set in centre, about 6 minutes. 

Repeat with remaining batter, wiping pan and misting with additional cooking spray with each batch. Serve with Rhubarb Maple Syrup (reheated, if necessary).
