Notes :
- I have used multi millet flour made with finger millet, little millet, Kodo millet, pearl millet and nuts
- If the mixture is too thick after adding flour, add few tbsp of milk.
- Use overripe banana for best results.
- For small babies, finely chop the nuts or powder them to avoid choking.
- Don’t over mix after adding the dry ingredients, fold them for 10-15 seconds.
- This millet banana cake stays well for four days at room temperature and keeps good for a week if stored in the refrigerator.
- You could use any nuts of your choice or even chocolate chips.
