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.

These pancakes were born out of one such experiment.

They were received really well, I am happy to say.

These millet flour pancakes:

  • are spongy and soft
  • retain the softness for a good while after they have been made
  • are perfect for self-feeding, if you follow baby-led weaning
  • don’t take very long to make at all! A bonus for busy moms

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Add the dry ingredients - millet flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon powder and sugar - to a bowl
  • Mix well until combined
  • Now add the milk and eggs to this
  • Mix gently until combined
  • Heat a pan and spread some butter
  • Pour about 1/4 cup and let the batter spread to form a thick circle
  • Cook on both sides until golden brown

Notes

You can combine different flours for a different flavoured and textured pancake - like whole wheat flour, oat flour, etc
You can cook the pancakes in regular oil as well, instead of butter
Note that I started LilS on cow's milk soon after she turned one. If you are breastfeeding or still on formula, substitute milk in the recipe with a nut milk of choice
For adults, serve with maple syrup and fruits

    These are fantastic! Thank you for the recipe! Our little one has to eat gluten free/dairy free and these are a winner for our entire family. We used coconut oil instead of butter and used Ripple Milk (pea protein milk) and we left out the sugar. These form a very nice pancake and taste great! Just add maple syrup and enjoy!

    These pancakes are an awesome treat on my “cheat” days. I used water instead of milk and they were still wonderful, simple and easy to make.
