Hi beautiful, I do hope you're having a lovely weekend.
Have you ever been invited to a friend's or family house for brunch and you feel like you want to decline the invitation because gal, you'll starve yourself if you are vegan and/or glutenfree? Here I've got mung bean vegan pancakes that you can take with you and surprise your host!
"Mung beans? I don't even know what in the world that is!"
Oh! darling, that sounds fantastic. At least you'll learn something new with this.
I'll tell you a little about mung beans:
Mung beans are common in Indian cuisine where they originated, they are called moong dal.

Do you want something exciting?
- Chinese herbal medicine has been using Mung beans for centuries against inflammation. Additionally, they help to cool the body during high heat season and not to mention they are used on the skin ulcers or burns as they expel toxins from the wound.
- Have you read a million times that you have to stay away from legumes? I got here a good reason to make you buy yourself a packet of mung beans during your next shopping!
- Because…. in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, mung beans are used as a body detox. These small beans can remove toxins from your body!
- Studies done on mung beans, have shown that they have anti-inflammatory properties especially when they're fermented, a piece of good news for you and I who are combating Rheumatoid Arthritis. Right?
"I can't believe it, eating beans as a detox!"
Yep, me too I was like what? This is amazing!
How to make mung bean vegan pancakes
- I like soaking my beans for about 24hours( but you can soak them for 12hrs) and I add a little pinch of Bicarbonate soda. This makes them easy to digest and reduces lectins.
- I sweeten these mung pancakes with banana plantains. Although you can use bananas, I find plantains add more energy and since they're high in potassium than classic bananas, they're a good bet.
- Plantains have fiber which will help in relieving constipation and other digestive conditions.
- Did you get that? If mung beans can be hard to digest, the plantains will counteract by easing the digestion, youpi!
- To choose the best plantains for your mungo bean vegan pancakes, choose the dark ones as they have a higher concentration of sugar than the yellow ones. Since I don't add sugar in my mungo pancakes, very ripped bananas or plantains will be ideal.
- I used homemade coconut milk, which you can learn how to make yours too.
Improve the taste
- Although you might not feel the sugary taste in these mung beans vegan pancakes, especially if you do take sugar in your life( which you really shouldn't), it's necessary to note the importance of eating to heal. Eliminate what can aggravate your inflammation! and sugar is one of your major enemies.
- My kids and I normally use peanut butter or slightly cooked fruits to spread on our mung beans pancakes, in this way they don't need to add any sweetener. If you want you can slice well-ripped bananas on the mung bean pancakes to improve the taste.
- Use raw honey or maple syrup but don't overdo it, my dear.
Now it's time for me to wish you wonderful cooking and please enjoy your present moment even if you are ill, remember you have the power to make yourself heal. And just enjoying the NOW, is one way to get there.
