Instructions

- Add one egg and vanilla extract to the banana. Mix it well
- Now add 1/2 cup coconut milk first and mix really well.
- Next add rolled oats followed by ragi flour. Mix it all well. Add the remaining coconut milk to adjust the batter consistency which should be medium thick but flowing consistency.
- If using baking soda add now along with melted coconut butter. Mix the batter till there are no lumps.
- Heat a non stick or cast iron pan on medium-low heat. Brush it with some oil, ghee or butter.
- Pour a spoon full of batter, approximately 1/4th cup, to the pan. Use the back of the spoon to slightly spread the batter to form a small pancake.
- Cook the pancake on low to medium heat till the top sets and you see bubbles forming on top.

Notes
- You can easily double or triple this recipe as per your requirement.
- Substitute of Coconut Milk: If coconut milk is not available, you can use any other vegan milk like almond milk, cashew milk. I have also tried these pancakes using buttermilk and gives a slightly tangy flavour.
- Substitute of Ragi Flour: You can use any other millet flour for this recipe like Buckwheat, Barnyard Millet, Pearl Millet or Little Millet flour.
- Substitute of Eggs:
- You can use flaxeggs as a substitute of eggs. Take 1 tbsp of coarsely ground flaxseeds and mix them in 4 tbsps of water. Let it sit for 10 to 12 minutes or till it gets a gel like consistency and use it place of 1 egg. So, if the recipe calls for 2 eggs, take 2 tbsps of flaxseeds and 8 tbsps of water.
- You can also use 1/4th cup of Greek yogurt or buttermilk or milk to replace 1 egg. So, if the recipe calls for 2 eggs, take 1/2 cup of yogurt/buttermilk/milk.
