Millet flour pancakes that are gluten free and also toddler friendly, a big hit from my recent experiments to please the 1 year old in the house who has been on primarily Indian food and textures for a while. It has been a personal goal for me to try and include different flours (both from grains and seeds) into our diets, including for LilS. She has so far been a champ in terms of her food habits – her appetite is not big but she will try anything. Wonder who she takes after with that, haha. While we stuck to mostly Indian food for the first 6 months after introducing solids to LilS, I started trying new toddler-friendly soon after she turned a year old.

Ingredients

  • ⦁ 1/2 cup millet flour I used Bob's Red Mill millet flour - US
  • ⦁ 1/3 cup milk
  • ⦁ 1 egg
  • ⦁ 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • ⦁ 1/2 tsp sugar I used coconut sugar
  • ⦁ A pinch of cinnamon
  • ⦁ A pinch of salt
  • ⦁ Butter for cooking

Directions

  • Firstly, in a mixing bowl, add dry ingredients like millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder. Mix them well.
  • Meanwhile, heat a pan on low heat and then grease it with some butter. Then, scoop out ⅓ cup of pancake batter and pour it onto the lightly buttered pan.
  • Next, cook on low heat until there are small bubbles on the top and the bottom of the pancake is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side too.
  • Finally, serve the delicious Fluffy Millet Pancakes by stacking them over each other and topping with some bananas, berries, peanut butter, or honey.
