Aquafaba is the liquid in which garbanzo beans have been cooked in. But you don't have to cook your own garbanzo beans; you can purchase a can of cooked beans and use that liquid.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325⁰ F. Toss peanuts in half the honey and roast for 10 minutes. Cool.

2. Sift together peanut butter powder, AP flour, whole wheat flour, evaporated cane sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.

3. Slowly add soy milk and Aquafaba reduction into dry mixture, whisking continuously until thoroughly combined.

4. Ladle 6 oz of batter (for 3 pancakes) on a hot, lightly oiled griddle, and cook. Flip once the first side is golden brown and the bubbles have set.

To make Aquafaba reduction:

1. Take 1 cup of Aquafaba, and place it in a pot.

2. Turn the heat on low and cook until reduced down to 1/4 cup.

To plate:

1. Plate 3 pancakes, topped with sliced banana, a sprinkling of honey-roasted peanuts, and a light drizzle of honey.
