Ingredients 
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) whole wheat pastry flour/plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (269g) cooked white beans or 1 can (425g), rinsed and drained
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) unsweetened non-dairy milk (vanilla, if possible)
- 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
- 2 tbsp (28ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (26g) sugar or (40g) agave nectar
- 1 tbsp (14g) ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tbsp (28ml) warm water (this is optional: you can use three tbsp of whisked aquafaba instead)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Peach compote ingredients
- 5 peaches
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp cardamom
- ¼ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- Sweetener of your choice, to taste
Method
- To prepare the dry ingredients, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- To prepare the wet ingredients, add all the ingredients to a food processor and purée. Add the purée to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. You can cook a few at a time, but make sure not to crowd them in the pan. Cook until you can see a few bubbles on the top and the edges are dry, then flip and cook a few minutes more until the pancake is cooked through.
To prepare the peach compote: Cut the peaches in half, remove the stone, and remove the peel. Cut into small pieces. Add all of the compote ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fruit is cooked through.
