Strawberry Banana Oat Cake

This super quick and easy strawberry banana oat cake is the perfect breakfast for busy mornings!

This recipe is a variation of my Microwave Oat Cake! Another super quick an easy one. Both are mixed directly in the baking dish and cook in the microwave, then you’re left with these soft and yummy oat bars. If your baby is all about strawberry banana, this one is for you.

My son loved this topped with yogurt! I added 1 tsp of honey because our bananas weren’t particularly ripe, but would omit if they were.

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!

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.
