@dawn16 1 cup chickpea flour 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp of plant milk 2 tsp baking powder 3 tbsp coconut sugar Or something like that, if I add protein powder to a pancake mix I'll add a little additional milk til the consistency is right.

@ricdavid We make chickpea pancakes for breakfast too with high protein soy milk, add protein powder / hemp seeds / pumpkin seeds. Super good and filling.

@godsgrace101 Under 30 is considered absolute iron deficiency, with or without anemia, and under 100 is considered functional iron deficiency.. The linked study explains further and also that you are correct that there are many people in these ranges in the population. 29 is considered normal...

@happywifehappylife if your doctor found that you are iron deficient and didn't prescribe iron or put you on an iron supplement and instead insisted that you eat meat that sounds like malpractice to me. Did this doctor run a full blood panel? What are the exact problems? Are you anemic...

@lazuli And discard the cooking liquid, and rinse afterward. The cooking liquid (and the liquid in a can) is where a lot of the stuff that makes you fart resides. I do also use Beano when eating da beans, which helps a fair bit.
