Banana Pancakes for Baby
Bananas, oats, milk and spinach are blended together to make banana pancakes for your baby a nutritious, hot meal at home or a cold snack on the go.If you're trying out baby led weaning, these are a must-try finger food!Quick and easy, you can make these for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, soy, lactose free, your choice) I use Fairlife as it's lactose free and has 13 g of protein in 1 cup
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed You can omit this if you don't have it. It's just a boost in nutrients.
- 1 banana Any size banana, brown or yellow, both work, too!
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend for about 45 seconds.
- Stop the blender around 20 seconds in, and start again, to incorporate any bits it may have left out.
- Once the batter is mixed, preheat your pan. Spray with non stick spray or a bit of olive oil.
- Make about 8 or 9 four inch pancakes, or more smaller pancakes.
- To tell when they're ready to flip, gently slide your spatula under an edge and give it a wiggle. If the pancake shifts, flip it. If not, wait a few more seconds and try again.
Notes
The banana pancakes batter will seem a bit too liquid at first. By the time your pan heats up, the oats will have soaked up some of the milk and the mixture will have thickened.
If you get delayed in cooking the pancakes and the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again for 10-15 seconds. You should be good to go!
I hope your baby loves these banana pancakes as much as my girls!
