Quick Protein Punch: Mung Bean Pancakes | Mahi Mata. When it comes to quick protein, we vegetarians (and vegans) don’t have many choices. Beans take ages to cook and soy and tempeh aren’t acceptable options. Figuring out what to eat when you’re in a rush but still want to nourish yourself can be way too hard. These mung bean pancakes have revolutionized my life as a vegetarian. I no longer have the what-to-eat dilemma. I spend just a few minutes once a week making this batter and I have a protein-rich breakfast, lunch or dinner sorted for several days. Because the beans are soaked overnight and blended they only take a few minutes to cook.
Just whip up the batter in the morning. Mung beans are full of protein and these pancakes are surprisingly delicious. This makes about 6 medium pancakes. Directions: Rinse the mung beans and soak them in about 5 inches of water overnight. Register for the FREE 7-day DIGESTION REHAB eCourse Relieve bloating, sluggishness, and digestive discomfort!
