Quinoa Flakes Cheela 

(Indian Savory Pancake)

This was inspired by the Ground Oats Cheela from August 30, of The Gutless Foodie on Instagram. Instead of using ground oats, I used ground quinoa flakes (which I ground up in a coffee/spice grinder), along with mustard seeds and some spices. I was glad to find a use for the quinoa flakes (that I was advised could add some protein to my diet). It was a very delicious use, too. 

(I'm adding links here to the company that makes these quinoa flakes, in case anyone is interested.)

Quinoa Flakes Granola, 

with Whole-Milk Yogurt

I was advised to add more protein to my diet with quinoa flakes. When I read about it, it seemed like it might be good for granola. After I bought a box, I realized that it listed its own granola recipe ... so it wasn't a totally crazy idea! I left some things out, and added tahini as well as date syrup; the recipe already included some honey. It was extremely easy to make, and is good with yogurt for breakfast. Yum!
