WHITE BEAN BREAKFAST PANCAKES
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
- Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
- For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
- Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
- BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
- YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
- WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
OATMEAL & BEAN PANCAKES
Diabetic friendly pancakes, loaded with fiber and nutrients. Use almost any bean, soaked overnight in plain water (soy bean, red bean, cannellini, pinto, Great Northern, white beans, black beans or other beans). The pancakes are heavier than traditional white flour pancakes and much more satisfying. Very good with agave nectar or fruit on top. Try blueberries or ripe peaches. Add a vegetarian breakfast sausage patty (we like Morningstar Maple Flavored Sausage Patties) for a complete Vegetarian/Vegan breakfast, low carb and low fat but great flavor and texture.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients except the oats in a blender and blend for 90 seconds on high speed. Add the oats and blend for 1 minute.
- Preheat a non-stick pan. Optionally, use a little oil or non-stick spray. Pour or spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into your pan for each pancake. Cook on one side until small bubbles begin to form and edges are set, 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Flip and cook until done and browned, 1- 2 minutes more.
- This recipe also works in waffle makers. It takes 3-8 minutes, depending on your waffle maker. You'll need to experiment.

WHITE BEAN PRIMAVERA
Pasta primavera, the creamy, vegetable-heavy pasta dish popularized in the 1980s at Le Cirque, in New York, is a little too fussy for a busy weeknight, but this reimagined white bean version comes together in less than a half-hour. The simple beans and vegetables feel fancy in their robe of cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and mustard. The dish is best with fresh spring vegetables, and it's also very flexible: Substitute spinach for the peas, a handful of halved cherry tomatoes for the carrot, and sugar snap peas for the asparagus. Drained jarred artichoke hearts wouldn't be out of place, either.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir, then cook undisturbed in an even layer until one side is golden, about 4 minutes. (It's great if the butter browns, but decrease the heat if it threatens to get too dark.) Stir in the asparagus, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas, scallions and ½ teaspoon salt, then add the red-pepper flakes, oregano and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peas are warmed through and bright green, about 2 minutes.
- Add the white beans and the cream, lower the heat to medium, and let the cream come to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan and Dijon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water to the creamy beans to loosen as you like; the sauce will thicken as it cools. (You may need more water when you reheat any leftovers.) Serve in bowls topped with the nuts and a handful of basil leaves. Pass more Parmesan at the table.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey, agave nectar, or another liquid sweetener.
- To make the pancakes extra fluffy, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
These white bean breakfast pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they're also gluten-free and vegan. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a breakfast that's both good for you and delicious, give these white bean breakfast pancakes a try.
