Milli's Rice Chickpea Pancake

Gluten-free Pancakes with Rice and Chickpea Flour

Mix equal portions of rice and chickpea flour with water, rice milk, or almond milk to create a delicious snack for hungry kids after school. Combine coconut sugar with coconut milk to prepare a sauce with a touch of honey and lemon for extra flavor. Try it once, and you will want to make it again! Enjoy a healthy, quick, and easy dessert.

The pancakes do not require fine wheat flour. I love surprising people when they find out the pancakes are made with beans and rice. Friends are often astonished by the possibility of combining bean flour with rice to create such delightful pancakes. During preparation, my close friend’s seven-year-old daughter, Millie, who loves to cook, helped out and successfully made a few. She especially enjoyed the grilled banana topped with honey and a splash of lemon juice.

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are nutritional powerhouses rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, calcium, and potassium. They are excellent for overall heart and bone health.
