- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

- Blend until smooth.
- Pour the bean mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix together adding about 4 tablespoons of the bean liquid--enough to get a dough consistency out of the batter.

Notes
- At this moment the Little Guy came home from school. He added an additional 3 chips to the batter and was CONVINCED that's what made them SO good. It was hysterical.
