MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA LATKES

Before I begin, you will notice that there is call for ALL PURPOSE FLOUR in the following recipe. Please make your substitutions. I don't know if WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR will work, but it's worth a try.

1 15oz can garbanzo beans..rinsed, drained
2 garlic cloves
1 tbs fresh rosemary
3 lrg eggs
6 tbs water
2 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
3 tblspoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp baking powder


6 tbs (or more) olive oil
Pomegranate seeds (optional)

Blend garbanzo beans, garlic and rosemary in processor to course paste. Add eggs, water and extra-virgin olive oil, blend until smooth. Add flour, cumin, salt, pepper and baking powder and blend. Pour batter into bowl.
Heat 6 tbs of oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, drop batter by heaping tbs into hot oil. Cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Using slotted spatula, transfer latkes to paper towels to drain. Add more oil to skillet as necessary and allow to get hot before adding more batter. Transfer latkes to plates. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, if desired and serve.

Here's the recipe I created, it's delicious!!! I submitted the recipe just as is, but for it to be SB LEGAL you will omit the raisins and if desired, you can use chopped nuts in their place. ALSO, do take not that I used the NEW AGAVE SYRUP which is less sweet than the one currently on the market, so if you make it with the older version, there should be no need to increase the agave for a sweeter muffin-it's going to be sweeter than the one I made.

BRAN MUFFINS

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup NATUREL AGAVE SYRUP
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup bran flakes
1/3 cup raisins

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Beat together agave syrup, oil, eggs, and milk and stir into dry ingredients together with the bran flakes and raisins. Mix only to moisten all ingredients. Spoon mixture into muffin cups to 2/3 cup full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

OPTION: If you would like to omit the raisins, you can add 1/3 cup chopped walnuts in place of the raisins if desired, or just leave them plain. If you like a sweeter muffin, increase the agave syrup by 1/4 cup and decrease the milk to 3/4 cup.

BUMPING THIS ONE UP!!!
