INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked black beans
3 large eggs
3/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1/3 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 tsp olive oil (for greasing)
PREPARATION
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked black beans slightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.
Whisk together the eggs in a separate bowl until well blended. Add the eggs, shredded cheese, cornmeal, finely chopped onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper into the black beans. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the cornmeal can absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with olive oil over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter for each cake and form patties on the skillet, flattening them slightly.
Cook the corn cakes for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they are golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
Once both sides are crispy and the interior is set, remove the cakes from the skillet.
Serve warm, optionally paired with a fresh salsa, avocado slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
