Project Description

Makes 8-12 pancakes depending on the size

Recipe Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour

  • 2-teaspoon baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 cup cooked navy beans

  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a blender or food processor, combine the beans with the milk, eggs and oil and pulse until well blended. Puree until it’s as smooth as you can get it.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined; don’t worry about getting out all the lumps.

Preheat a heavy skillet over medium heat and spray with a non-stick cooking spray or rub with oil. (Use a paper towel)

Ladle the batter into the hot skillet, making whatever size or shape pancake you like.

If you want to add berries or banana slices, do this as soon as you put the batter into the skillet. You can also add them to the batter if you want fruit in all the pancakes.

Turn the heat down a little and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden and bubbles begin to appear and pop on the surface. Use a thin spatula to flip them over to cook on the other side for about a minute.

Note: This is a great recipe for those picky eaters in your family that won’t eat their veggies. Make the pancakes in animal shapes such as a bunny to make breakfast fun!

Make sure to warm whatever syrup you usually use on your pancakes. Warm syrup makes all the difference!
