Custard Powder banana pancake, Eggless pancake recipes

Custard powder pancake with banana puree, these soft fluffy eggless pancakes was my breakfast yesterday morning. I got the idea of  Custard powder pancake, i got after seeing this Instagram post. She used pumpkin puree in that and i replaced that with banana puree. It turned out so soft and tasted so yum. We have 2 pancake fans at our home, the moment i say pancake, the eyes will wide open with happiness, one is Varsha and another one is my helper. Somehow me, Suresh and Varun are not a great fan of pancakes but we still eat whenever we make it at home. This Custard powder pancakes were so flavourful and me being a big fan of fruit custard loved the pancakes. I used the measurements of my Eggless Whole wheat pancake recipe.

Notes:

1. You can use millet flour or whole wheat flour instead of plain flour.
2. I used vanilla flavour custard powder. You can use banana flavour too.
3. The sweetness was perfect for me, if you need more sugar you can add 1-2 tblsp extra.
4. You can serve pancake for breakfast or pack for kids lunch box too.
