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.
Pin
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

Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Ingredients
- 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
Add more butter as needed
Best served warm but keeps well for about 2 hours
You can add some bananas and berries on top before serving
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

Gina LeeMy son asked for pancakes this morning and I had to make them from scratch. This recipe was at the top of my search. Easy and fluffy.., it pretty much dissolves in the mouth. My son loved them and my wife asked why do we went to this one American diner here in Germany and that these were way better and I agree. Great recipe!

mine turned out really flat? 🙁 but I followed the recipe exactlyReply

they are usually not as fluffy as regular pancakes since millet flour is bit more dense then regular flour 🙂

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.
