Millet Pancakes - Vegan

[graindamage]

Here is a recipe that my wife has been making that is delicious AND vegan. The tofu, optional, adds some additional protein, but doesn't affect the taste, so if you are soy intolerant, leave it out:

2 cups millet

2 cups water

1 banana

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

(1/2 to 1 cup firm tofu, drained - optional)

Blend the millet into a powder, place the ground millet, water, banana, maple syrup, and salt into a blender (We prefer the Vita-Mix), and plend until very smooth.

Pour the batter onto a hot, lightly oiled nonstick griddle or skillet and cook until puffed and bubbly. Turn over and cook the other side.

Add some fresh, ripe, blueberries or strawberries to the top along with some additional maple syrup.

Makes 16 3-inch pancakes.

These are absolutely my favorite pancakes.

Thanks. I really like millet. BTW. what brand do you use ? Mine has been tasting too strong lately. I was getting it from the bin. And then rinsing it before cooking it.

how would millet flour in the bag compare to the amount of millet ground from whole millet----hope that made sence? i have a bag of millet flour.

We don't know the brand name, we get ours from the bulk bin.

I believe ground millet and millet flour would be approximately the same measurement. Give it a try.

Not to change the topic, but have you tasted that millet bread available at health food stores ? I believe it is made in FL.

I was told that it was gluten free and that the local celiacs were eating it, so I tried it . Now the label warns about the wheat in it.

But, I loved the taste. Anyone have any recipe ideas for millet bread ?

I use Bob's Red Mill. Pls be cautious of foods in the bulk bins at stores. They are a prime spot for CC.
