Time 45m

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
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1/4 cup flax seed meal (optional)
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.
Whisk together egg yolks (preserving the whites) with the melted butter.
Stir yolk/butter combination and egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, and sugar into the bean mixture.
Combine flour, and baking powder, nutmeg, and oat bran.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and whisk until just combined.
Heat skillet and make just as you would pancakes.
Serve up with maple syrup.
