This avocado banana oat cake is a quick and easy breakfast your little one will love!
Another quick and easy breakfast coming your way! This one has all the yummy sweetness from the banana, tons of fiber from the oats and avocado, and lots of healthy fats. Plus, protein from the egg. Yum!
BABY LED WEANING
This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.
For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!
ALLERGENS
This recipe has eggs and dairy. DF milk should sub in here just fine.
If you’d like to try it with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target. This post highlights other ideas for egg substitutes in recipes.
STORAGE
This makes a small batch, so I did not have any to freeze. I stored the leftovers in the fridge!
However if you make a bigger batch, you’re welcome to freeze. To reheat either thaw in the fridge overnight then microwave or toast, or microwave or toast from frozen.
SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS
If your baby doesn’t like bananas or bananas don’t agree with them, I suggest trying my other variation, recipe found here.
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Souper Cubes Stoneware 5″ Square Baking Dish – this is what I used to cook the cake in. I do really like these! But any microwave safe dish will work just fine. You might need to adjust cooking times accordingly.

What would be the time same temperature if baked?
I haven’t tried to bake them, but I think 350 for 15-20 minutes would be a good place to start!
