White Bean Breakfast Pancakes image

I wanted to create a breakfast pancake that was more nutritious for my children. The texture of these pancakes is a little different than traditional pancakes, but they still taste very good and look just the same. I'm sure there are many opportunities for substitutions.

Yield 24 pancakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups navy beans
2 cups all-purpose flour, you can substitute wheat, but my fam doesn't prefer that in pancakes
4 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Drain navy beans (or cook up dry ones).
  • Place beans, flax meal, and buttermilk in a blender or food processor. Blend until you have a creamy batter-like consistency. Remove to a large bowl.

  • Combine flour, and baking powder, nutmeg, and oat bran.
