Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana pureed
  • 1 cup pearl millet
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk any milk of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar/jaggery/maple syrup sweetener of your choice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Additional butter or oil for cooking
  • Sliced banana for serving (optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, seive and combine the pearl millet, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and sugar/jaggery/maple syrup. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in dense pancakes.
  • Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it with butter or oil.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon or a ladle to spread the batter into a circular shape.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Serve the banana millet pancakes warm, topped with sliced banana, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and any other desired toppings or accompaniments.
  • Enjoy these delicious and wholesome banana millet pancakes as a delightful breakfast or brunch option!

Notes
