2 tablespoons ground flax seed
¼ cup water
1 ½ cup millet flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt (try pink Himalayan if you can get)
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinammon
1 large overripe plantain, peeled (the browner the better)
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons almond milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- To make an egg substitute, add the flaxseed to water in a small bowl and stir. Let sit for five minutes until thickened with an egg-like consistency.
-
In a medium bowl whisk together the millet flour, baking powder, sea salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
-
In a blender add the plantain, almond milk, vanilla extract (optional) and flax seed mixture. Puree until the mixture is smooth.
-
Add the plantain mixture to the flour mixture. Fold the batter gently with a rubber spatula until just blended; do not over-mix. Add more milk (if necessary) to create a pourable batter. Allow the batter to sit for about five minutes.
-
Meanwhile, add 2 teaspoons of oil to a griddle or non-stick pan and preheat. Drop ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spacing them apart by about 2 inches. Cook until a few holes form on top of each pancake and the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top is puffed, 1 to 2 minutes more. Use a spatula to transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Wipe the griddle clean, add more oil, and repeat.
