Banana Oat Pancakes

These banana oat flour pancakes happened on a whim but have quickly become a favorite breakfast over here!

Don’t mind that there are two very different looking batches here lol, it’s just a difference of mom life and getting a little distracted while making them. Both batches were devoured! These were a huge hit and could not be easier. The batter took me 2 minutes to make – seriously. Such a quick and easy breakfast and my son absolutely loves them. He didn’t even touch his blueberries, which is SO unlike him, but really just shows you how much he loved these. Highly recommend you give them a try!

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, dairy, and oats.

You can easily swap in dairy free milk. 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. GF oat flour should work fine!

STORAGE

To be honest we never have leftovers of these lol. He basically eats the whole batch! However, I’d store these as I do with any other pancake recipe. Leftovers in the fridge for 4 days max, freeze for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen.

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

I haven’t tried yet with any subs or add ins, but let me know if you do!

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby
