Ingredients:
1 cup millet flour (can use any millet flour like pearl millet, ragi, jowar)

¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup organic coconut sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two. Start and end with the dry mixture, mixing until just combined after each addition.
- If you wish to add any optional add-ins like cacao nibs or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
