Stone Fruit and Fluffy Millet Breakfast Cake
After seeing some gorgeous fluffy Millet Breakfast Cake muffins in Amy Chaplin’s cookbook, At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen (a gorgeous book, by the way, that I highly suggest), the idea for this snack cake had been circling around my head for a while. Additionally, as a change of pace from rice and quinoa, we’ve been enjoying millet more and more lately (have you tried it?). It’s quick and simple to cook, highly nutritious, and flexible. We’ve been savoring it in healthy bowls, stir fries, and curries.
Cakes made with grains can become dense, so it might be tough to add them in. However, millet is naturally light and fluffy, making it an ideal addition to cakes.
How to Prepare Fluffy Millet Breakfast Cake for Breakfast
Making the flax eggs is the first step, and it’s as simple as blending ground flaxseed with water and allowing the liquid to thicken for a short while.
If you’ve never used flax eggs before and you’re not sure if it will work, think again! This egg alternative, rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, adds binding and moisture. It also works amazingly well in brownies, quick breads, and pancakes!
The additional wet ingredients vegan “buttermilk” (almond milk with lemon) for a hint of tanginess, maple syrup for sweetness, avocado oil to seal in moisture, and vanilla essence and lemon zest for flavor are added once the flax eggs have thickened.
With cooked millet for its fluffy texture, B vitamins, zinc, iron, phosphorous, and more, and almond flour for its crumb structure and protein boost, we kept the dry ingredients simple. We may make breakfast cake by adding some salt for flavor and baking powder for leavening.
The fruit comes next, which is our favorite part! This cake’s adaptability makes it a year-round beauty, but it tastes especially good with stone fruit (such as nectarines, plums, and apricots). Try it with a mango, thinly cut apples, berries, and other ingredients! The cake gets golden brown on the outside and the fruit gets soft after baking.
This millet breakfast cake is sure to be a hit! It is:
Nutty, sweet, fresh, balanced, and ideal for snacking!
For all of your breakfast, brunch, snack, or healthier dessert needs, this cake is ideal. Add some coconut yogurt or vegan vanilla ice cream on top to make it even more spectacular. For a cozy combination, try it with our 5-Minute Vegan Golden Milk, Adaptogenic Hot Chocolate, Easy Masala Chai, or Minty Iced Matcha Latte.
