Ingredients

• 1 cup Millet flour
• 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted, plus extra for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the millet flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

Add the orange zest to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, orange juice, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. Add a splash of milk if it appears too thick.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of coconut oil.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh orange slices, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor.
