Chocolate Ragi Pancakes

Chocolate Ragi Pancakes are the perfect kid friendly breakfast or snack that make a regular appearance in my daughters tiffin box!

I'm starting a new series today called the 'Tiffin Series' and I have TEN AMAZING RECIPES that I'll share here over the next few weeks. These are incredibly simple, nutritious kid friendly recipes that are tried and tested on my kids and neighbours kids and their friends and have received a thumbs up all around!

The first in the series had to be these Chocolate Ragi Pancakes because I make them every single week and my four year old loves them. Drizzled with some honey and some fresh fruit on the side, its a breakfast that gets wolfed down super fast!

It's a short, simple ingredient list. The Ragi kind of enhances the cocoa powder, making these a little more chocolatey. I keep the baking powder to a minimum.

How to make Ragi Pancakes

  1. Mix the Batter and this means dumping everything together and giving it a nice whisk till its smooth

And that's it. BOTH my kids love these - my four year old and ten month old! In fact this becomes family breakfast on days when I make these. It is the year of millets and for good reason! These Millet Pancakes are my way of showing you that they can be tasty while being healthy.

I love putting together my daughters tiffin box and with recipes like these it actually takes me all of 10 minutes! Here I have the finger millet pancakes, guava, air fryer roasted makhanas and mithai!
