Notes
To make quinoa flour, place quinoa in a coffee/spice grinder or high powered blender and process until you have a fine powder.
After mixing the dry and wet ingredients together, the batter will be very dense. Don't be tempted to add milk. Once you add the zucchini, the batter will become quite wet.
