Black Bean Pancake Stacks with Mango Cream Filling

Every meal has a story; A story of where it came from, where the idea of its creation manifested.

Some meals have a background based on culture and traditions. Others come into being through creativity and innovation.

Dishes spring from inspiration and ideas of past opuses.

And some meals are a compilation of the lack of grocery shopping and pantry-diving. Like this one.

Although, the story of this meal came from a rumbling tummy, a mountain of ripe mangoes, and a can of black beans…

It was also created via some pretty inspiring meals.

Black Bean Pancake Stacks with Mango Cream Filling

Pancakes:

Yields: 1-2 servings, about 6 mini pancakes

• 1/2 cup black beans (canned/cooked)
• 2 heaping tbsp hemp protein powder, chocolate flavored (or protein/flour of choice)
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup almond milk
  
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 16 drops Stevia (I used 8 drops chocolate, 8 drops vanilla creme)

Blend the black beans, protein powder, egg whites together, and almond milk together in a blender, until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients, mixing to combine.

Heat a nonstick pan on high heat for several minutes. Reduce heat to medium just before spraying with cooking spray (or butter), and dropping spoonfuls of batter onto pan.

Mango Cream Filling:

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup yogurt of choice (dairy free, Greek, coconut, soy, cashew, etc)

Combine chopped mango and yogurt in a bowl. Mix. Done. 😉

To assemble:

Place one pancake on a plate. Top with mango cream filling. Repeat as desired. Sprinkle with cinnamon and extra mango pieces.
