Baby Banana Pancakes

Jump to Recipe

Figuring out what to feed your baby is already a challenge, but when they're 11 months old and suddenly more interested in what's on your plate than their own, it gets even harder. Thankfully, these banana pancakes have been a huge hit with my little one, and I'm hoping yours will love them just as much!

I know how busy life as a parent can get, so I purposely made this recipe as simple and quick as possible. Just add everything to a blender and adjust the consistency with a splash of milk if needed. From there, you can make the pancakes right away or store the batter in the fridge for later.

These pancakes also don't have any eggs or flour, so you don't have to worry about undercooking them the same way you would with traditional pancakes. All the ingredients are ready to eat, so you're mainly looking for those beautiful golden brown tops.

The texture is also super soft, making them great for babies who are comfortable eating soft finger foods. You can even try spreading a thin layer of smooth peanut butter on the pancakes while they're still warm. My little guy has been loving that!

Joe's Tips for Success:

1. Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to smooth things out. Remember, these are oats, so they will continue to soak up liquid as they sit.
2. Keep the Heat Low: Pancakes are best cooked low and slow, and these are no different.
3. When to Flip: The edges will start to set, and you might start seeing small bubbles or holes forming on top. That's a perfect sign to flip.
4. Optional Toppings: A really thin layer of smooth peanut butter over warm pancakes is great. Melts slightly and adds an added boost of flavor.
