I have read so many wonderful reviews of garfava flour over the years. I finally gave it a try by making the pancake recipe on the back (with an egg substitute).I tasted the batter and was overwhelmed by the bean flavor. One of the things I liked about the online reviews was that people said the flour wasn't bean-y. I figured the bean taste would not be an issue after cooking. The finished pancakes were better than the batter, but still too bean-ish for me. I was barely able to get down two pancakes and that was after soaking them in maple syrup. I gave the rest to the dogs.The flour was light and the texture of the pancakes was very close to pancakes made with gluten. I can see how it would be a wonderful gluten- and grain-free option, but I can't get over the bean taste. Ew.
