Sorghum and Baobab Pancakes

These pancakes are made from sorghum, a gluten-free ancient grain popular in African cooking and baobab, a fruit from the African baobab tree.

Baobab contains properties that lower blood sugar, boost the immune system and aid digestion, among other properties. Similarly, sorghum’s high-fibre nature means that it serves as a digestion aid, promotes heart health and reduces inflammation, among other benefits.

Together, these nutritious ingredients create a delicious pancake that’s light, sweet and delicious!

We paired the pancakes with a store-bought baobab and mango spread made by simply crushing and pureeing fresh mango and baobab to create a delicious jam.
