Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Bananas ripe
- 2 tbsp Coconut Milk
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 tsp Jaggery Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Ginger ground
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, ground
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Other Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds roasted
- 1/4 cup Carrot cooked, mashed
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
- Add the coconut milk and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, jaggery powder, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
- Stir in the roasted sesame seeds and mashed cooked carrot.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra texture and nutrition, sprinkle a mix of roasted sesame seeds and chopped nuts (like cashews or pistachios) on top of the pancakes just before flipping them.
- If you prefer a more savory profile, add a pinch of finely chopped green chilies and fresh coriander to the batter.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based coconut milk and replace any optional dairy ghee with a neutral oil like coconut or sunflower oil.
- To make these pancakes tiffin-friendly, allow them to cool completely before packing; wrapping them in banana leaves or parchment paper helps retain their softness.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay and will result in lighter pancakes.
- Adjust the sweetness according to the ripeness of your bananas. If your bananas are very ripe, you may need to reduce any added sugar in the recipe.
- For perfectly round pancakes, use a cookie scoop or a large spoon to pour the batter onto the hot pan.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
