Ingredients
Servings
12
- 1 cup millet flour
- 1 medium (about 150g) grated apple
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp mild fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup finely grated carrot
Instructions
-
Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine millet flour and gluten-free baking powder.
-
Add grated apple, grated carrot (if using), and mild thyme leaves to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
-
Pour in the lukewarm water, olive oil, and prepared flax egg. Mix well until a smooth, thick but pourable batter forms. Add a little extra water if too thick.
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
-
Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the pan, flattening gently with the back of the spoon to form small, finger-food friendly pancakes.
-
Cook pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
-
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Let cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature as nutritious finger foods. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days and gently reheat as needed.
