Light Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe

  American Brunch

Ingredients:
1 cup drained cooked or canned white beans
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
2 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:
In a blender or food processor, combine the oatmeal and beans; process until both are thoroughly combined and finely chopped. Add the eggs, honey, and milk, and process again until blended.
In a medium bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. (These really don't seem to need salt, but you could add a pinch now if you wish.) Add the bean mixture, and stir with a fork just until blended-a few small lumps in the batter are okay.
Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a hot greased griddle. In a minute or so, when the edges are set and the top full of bubbles, turn and brown the other side. Makes about 20 4-inch cakes. These are especially good with maple syrup.

These pancakes will appeal to those who like whole grains and health foods, but they are so light that you don't have to be nutrition-conscious to like them.
