You could always adapt the recipe.... up the bean content!
There is an old chain of pancake houses in the US called The Original Pancake House, that has a cool logo and great pancakes -- Mercan style breakfast cakes.
They are the only places I can get buckwheat pancakes, a favorite since childhood. Buckwheat pancakes have a robust flavor, and usually include a little molasses in the batter recipe for even more of a rustic flavor.
Real butter and pure maple syrup ONLY on my cakes.

When I referenced our favorite breakfast place earlier, l was talking about the OPH!

It really is a good pancake house. I only go there a couple times a year. Always in the winter for my Buckwheat Pancake fix. I am past due for some.

I have no use for organized religion. I also don't do pancakes on Fat Tuesday. More likely to have red beans and rice or dirty rice for supper, or not.
Before my wife had her stroke, we went two or three times a month, then we cut it back to about once a month, then even further to once every couple of months.
The one we went to here, they were known as much for their excellent service as well as their food. The last two times we went, though, the service had dropped off considerably, to the point that we complained to the manager (something we rarely do), and we haven't been back since. That was probably four or five months ago.

When us kids lived at home our mum made pancakes every year, since leaving home I don't bother. Neither The Velvet Curtain nor I are all that bothered.

Once in awhile, I get the urge to make my "recipe" for German style sour cream pancakes. They are so light, I swear they float off the plate!

It's a two-day recipe and I'm probably not willing to play with the quantities in order to enter it into the contest in time, considering other things I'm doing and cooking. And tasting back and forth to see if the increased bean content actually MAKES a pancake or not... BUT - I WILL post this recipe as it stands. Don't (always) need to enter a contest...
All right - the recipe does not take much hands down time at all... mostly a lot of soaking going on. But I'm also wanting to eat less carb this coming week...
I recently made some pancakes from home-made mung bean flour. Nothing added except water, salt & ground spices. I was experimenting so didn't take a photo but it seemed to work very well. I just ground up raw dried mung beans in a spice grinder to make flour. Traditional Indian recipes for Mung bean pancakes suggest soaking the mung beans and then rubbing skins off before processing to a paste and frankly, I couldn't be bothered so I cut out the soaking and skinning.

Here's the Indian pancake recipe: Uttapam Pancakes - Indian
While these contain legumes, I really think it would spoil the ambiance of "uttapam" to convert them to more lentils and less rice. So, I'm not modifying & submitting them to the current challenge.

It is officially Fat Tuesday in New Orleans. I will eat some boiled crawfish if I can find them -- I found a couple places serving them. If not, some Étouffée at home (I have the ingredients in the freezer and pantry). I'm still hoping for some red beans and rice in the Beans challenge.
For now, Chill to some Trobone Shorty (from better days)...
