Strawberry Banana Pancakes

These strawberry banana pancakes were a huge hit – tons of flavor and no added sugar!

These were a HIT with my son. Super flavorful! We didn’t even have leftovers to freeze cause he finished them within a couple of days. They reheated great from the fridge. The batter came together really quickly, although it required a little bit of muscle to mash the strawberries lol. Worth it! Will definitely be making a bigger batch next 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 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 wheat.

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.

STORAGE

I would store these in the fridge for 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

I believe other fruits could sub in for the strawberries!

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

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

Masher – I like this one because it doesn’t get stuck in the drawer!

Cookie scoop – I love using this to scoop meatballs, pancake batter, and tons more. I use this thing ALL the time when cooking for my son (and just in general)
