Garbanzo Pancakes
What you need:
1 cup Garbanzo Beans (chick peas), soaked overnight
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
raisins (optional)
What you do:
Put all of the above in a blender. Add water until the mixture blends easily. When thoroughly blended, continue to add water until a very light, pourable consistency is reached. Cook pancakes on frying pan; no oil or butter necessary in my experience. A bit tricky to flip, but DELICIOUS!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was really strange...at first, my sister and I tried making them in a non-stick (Teflon) pan, but for some reason this didn't work. Cast iron worked pretty nicely, though. Also, cooking these in Earth Balance=huge mess...you really don't need any kind of non-stick surface at all, because there's already so much oil in the peanut butter. My sister did say that they were a bit too "rich" for her, however--we did use the sugary kind of peanut butter in addition to the brown sugar, and will probably use less added sugar in the future. All in all, though, a great vegan/wheat-free recipe. ;)b
