Have fluffy pancakes on the table in minutes! Featuring whole grain, high-fiber red millet, also known as finger millet or ragi, this easy recipe will inspire you to have pancakes on weekdays, too ๐
Made with ragi flour, a high-fiber millet variety found in Indian grocery stores, this recipe is gluten free, plant-based & vegan, nut-free, soy-free and low-FODMAP to boot!
Let’s begin…
Preheat your skillet or griddle.
Combine the ragi flour, ground chia (or flax), baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk.
Add the fruit or vegetable puree (I use sweet potato, which is a low-FODMAP food), oil, maple syrup, vinegar, vanilla (optional), cinnamon & nutmeg (optional) and milk of choice. Mix with a spatula.
Note: 1/3 cup of full fat coconut milk and 2/3 cup ‘regular’ non-dairy milk results in the texture shown here.
Add a few drops of cooking oil to your griddle and wipe away using a paper towel.
Pour the batter onto the greased griddle and prepare pancakes as you normally would. I usually cook these for about ~2 minutes per side on medium heat.
Serve!
