Healthy Quinoa pancakes

Quinoa Dark Chocolate chip pancakes 

These pancakes are absolutely amazing, they are thin and light but very moist loaded in flavor. I love quinoa flour (it is gluten free) because it has a sweet taste to it and it has lots of fiber, protein, complex carbs and omegas in it!! :) And of course pancakes taste even better with chocolate in it so I added dark chocolate which is my favorite ( a little goes a long way) and it is good for your heart, antioxidants, and has lots of vitamins and minerals. yuuummm
