Our Review Factors

What are we looking for in Timios Millet Banana Pancake Mix? We are looking for an easy to cook pancake mix with a clean ingredient list and likeable flavors and texture.

1. Taste

Millet based pancakes have an innate earthy, nutty flavor which sets them apart from regular maida-based pancakes. We expected fresh flavors of the bananas and a balanced sweetness level.

2. Texture 

As compared to maida-based pancakes, millet pancakes have a slightly grainier/coarse mouthfeel. The elements we examined here are the softness and fluffiness in texture. Do these crisp perfectly along the edges? 

3. Nutri-Label 

Main Ingredients 

In this segment, we look for the sources of sugar used. Is the ingredient list devoid of preservatives, artificial colors & flavors? This being a millet based pancake mix is the quantity of different flours mentioned clearly? 

Nutritional Information 

Millet pancakes offer a lot in terms of nutrition. We checked the nutrition label on the pack to find out the calories, protein, fat, and the total sugar. 

4. Other Observations

Convenience 

Convenience is a sum up of the preparation process and the cooking time involved. Since it is a millet pancake, the cooking time is generally higher compared to regular pancakes. Does the pancake mix combine easily with the other ingredients? 

Packaging 

This factor highlights how well the product has been packed. Is the pack resealable? 

The price & shelf life are among the other review parameters.

Cooking Experience

The pancake batter mixes up well with the other ingredients. It was smooth in consistency and had no lumps. 

However, the quantity of milk mentioned had to be adjusted to get a lump-free batter and ideal consistency. So, in addition to the mentioned ½ cup of milk, we added ¼ cup extra to prepare the batter. 

We recommend cooking these pancakes on low to medium heat since millet-based pancakes take slightly longer to cook. Cooking them on high heat increases the chances of burning them.

These pancakes are lightly sweetened and taste yum!

Taste 

These pancakes have a nice and innate earthiness due to the presence of ragi and jowar flours used. These are delicately sweetened. Because we cooked them in butter, this developed a slightly savory taste.

However, we were not able to get the taste of banana powder are there is no overpowering flavor of jaggery. Nonetheless, these were quite tasty.

We tasted these pancakes as it is and with sliced bananas and date syrup. While serving these to kids, make sure to drizzle some maple syrup and top it with some fruits.

Texture 

Despite being a millet pancake mix, the final pancakes turned out super fluffy and soft. They had beautiful crisp edges. A point of appreciation is that these pancakes retained their softness even when we tasted these again after 15 to 20 minutes. Loved how brilliantly these pancakes had risen.
