Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp Ragi Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Allspice or cinnamon, or nutmeg
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the overripe bananas well. This creates a naturally sweet base for the pancakes.
- Add the ragi flour, baking powder, salt, and your chosen spice. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the pancakes tough.
- Crack in the egg and whisk it into the batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Let the batter rest for 20 minutes. This allows the ragi flour to absorb the liquid and create a lighter texture.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt ½ teaspoon of butter in the skillet for each pancake.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Look for bubbles on the surface as a sign they're ready to flip.
- Serve the pancakes immediately, stacked high and drizzled with honey.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an eggless version, substitute the egg with 2 tablespoons of yogurt or 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. This will help bind the pancakes while keeping them soft.
- If your bananas are not fully ripe, roast them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes to enhance their sweetness and add a deeper flavor to the pancakes.
- To introduce a subtle crunch and extra nutrition, fold in a tablespoon of finely chopped nuts (like walnuts or almonds) or seeds (such as chia or sunflower) into the batter before cooking.
Expert Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax and the leavening agents to work their magic.
- Don't overmix the batter! A few lumps are okay. Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough pancakes.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your stovetop and desired level of browning. Start with medium heat and adjust as needed.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover pancakes can be cooled, stacked with parchment paper in between, and frozen for up to a month.
- Reheat in a toaster or on a skillet for a quick, healthy breakfast.
