These canned pear pancakes are a super simple sugar free yet perfectly sweet recipe for your baby.
Pancakes forever!! These were a really quick and easy one to whip up that my son loved – but to be fair he loved just about everything I’ve given him in pancake form 😂 I get it. Pancakes are the best! These are super affordable and great to make a big batch of ahead of time.
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 pancakes. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Half pancakes or strips would work well here. 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 contains flour and egg.
GF flour should work here. I plan to test them with an egg replacement, and will update here when I do. If you’d like to try, here’s one that has good reviews and is available online.
STORAGE
I would store these in the fridge for 4 days max, then transfer to the freezer. Freeze in a single layer, I typically will place on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and once frozen transfer to another container or ziplock bag. If you freeze altogether it’s impossible to separate, this makes it easy.
To reheat I put in the toaster oven until warm, but you could also do the microwave.
SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS
Any canned fruit here will work!
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby
Mixing bowl
Skillet
Blender – I used my Vitamix but you obviously don’t need that for this. Any blender or food processor will work! If you don’t have any, you could either mash with a fork if they mash easily, or cut the pears with knife/scissors into small pieces for baby. This will result in a chunkier pancake, but still delish!
