These oat applesauce pancakes couldn’t be easier, and were a huge hit with my son!
These are only 3 ingredients – oats, applesauce, and an egg, and then you have easy and nutritious pancakes for your little one! This makes a small batch, so feel free to double to have more leftovers.
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 egg.
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
I made a small batch so I didn’t have leftovers, but if I did I would store them in the fridge for 3-4 days, then transfer to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer 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
Cinnamon would be a great add in! You also could sub banana for the applesauce.
TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED
Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby
