"This pancake recipe is my family's favorite savory brunch; I make it almost every weekend! Chickpea flour is very high in protein and has a lovely nutty taste to it. You can even play around with the veggies for this recipe depending on what you like or already have on hand. Besides onions and peppers, a few of my favorite combinations are leeks and leftover boiled potatoes, zucchini and mint, or spinach and carrot."
