Oat and banana pancakes

6 months+

Three ingredients, no syrup needed, soft enough for a first pancake.

Ingredients

Good to know

Contains egg: introduce egg on its own first.

The banana is all the sweetness these need; syrup and sugar can wait until age 2.

Keeps 2 days in the fridge and freezes well with parchment between layers.

No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 ripe banana until smooth.
  2. Whisk in 1 egg.
  3. Stir in 4 tbsp oat flour to make a thick, pourable batter.
  4. Cook small pancakes in a lightly oiled pan on medium-low, about 2 minutes a side, until set in the middle.
  5. Cool, then cut into strips a baby can grip, or into small pieces for a baby past the palm-grasp stage.
