If you’re looking for a simple breakfast for your egg allergy little one, they will adore these egg free banana pancakes!
I wanted to start experimenting with recipes that all of my egg free babies out there could enjoy. I can only imagine how stressful and difficult it must be to navigate life with a little one having to avoid certain common ingredients. I plan to incorporate plenty more egg free recipes going forward so your baby’s can enjoy these meals as well!
That said, I’m still learning! These pancakes are delicious, but a different texture than regular pancakes with egg. They likely are softer than you might expect. Still yum! But that’s to be expected with this recipe.
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 dairy.
GF flour should work here. I think a dairy free yogurt should work here as well.
I plan to test them again with an actual 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! Sometimes I serve them cold lol they work that way too.
SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS
Applesauce typically subs in nicely for mashed banana, as does sweet potato puree and pumpkin puree.
If your batter seems too wet, add in more flour.
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby
Mixing bowl
Skillet

Batter didn’t come out in a pancake consistency, it was like I was making a loaf of bread, I tried adding milk to loosen and they ended up mushy.
Sorry they didn’t turn out!
