Banana Pancakes are an easy and quick breakfast, lunch or snack for you and your baby! Made with only 3 simple ingredients – banana, egg and flour, these pancakes are fluffy, soft, and perfect for baby, baby led weaning and toddlers! 6 months and up!
INGREDIENTS
- Banana: you are looking for a ripe banana with a couple of brown spots on it. Bananas with brown spots are not only sweeter but they also help with constipation instead of aiding to it (like yellow bananas).
- Egg: one large egg is needed to bind everything together.
- Flour: I used whole wheat in this version, but all-purpose, white whole wheat, oat flour or a one-for-one gluten-free flour also works.
- Cinnamon: I love adding a pinch of cinnamon to my banana pancakes to really up the taste factor. But you can also omit this spice if you prefer. I also have a list below of other fun ingredients you can add into the pancakes if you are feeling fancy.
METHOD
- Mash: in a medium bowl, mash the banana until very smooth with only a few lumps.
- Mix: add in the flour, egg and cinnamon (if using) and mix until everything is combined.
- Cook: heat a medium skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray or add a little butter if needed. Drop one tablespoon of batter on the skillet and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sides are starting to become firm and the bottoms are golden brown. You will not see any bubbles like traditional pancakes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: let cool slightly and serve.
