Well it has been a really long time since I baked anything with ragi flour. I did make a couple of recipes for cake and breads not recently. So when I got bored of all other kinds of breads and cakes I decided to again go back and try using ragi for a change. It was so long back I made ragi cake that I had to revisit my blog for checking out the recipe. But this time I brought a twist and completely removed sugar substituting with ripe bananas and date sugar. The flour proportions remain same as 2:1:1 for ragi, wholewheat and wheat flours. I also added cocoa powder and some chocolate chips to hide in the ragi and date flavor only to make it even more disguising and appeasing for chocolate lover kids who can not even think of what actually goes in there is ragi, dates and bananas! And you can't tell it either so try it out yourself to be pleasantly surprised. And yes did I mention I put this all together in 10 minutes with two bowls , baking pan and whisks without any preparations or electric mixer. So it's completely thumbs up recipe with low on effort, time and calories but high on chocolate and taste.

1/2 cup wholewheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup date syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoon chocolate chip
