Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

This banana pancake recipe for baby is made with just 5 nutritious ingredients:

• Banana – That’s an obvious one! Use soft bananas that can be mashed. It’s a great way to use up bananas before they go bad.
• Eggs – Use high-quality eggs for
• Vanilla – Optional, but helps bring out the sweetness in the banana.
• Oats – Use old-fashioned rolled oats, steel cut oats are great, but won’t work in these baby led weaning banana pancakes! If you’re worried that the oats have too much texture, you can pulse them in your blender until they resemble oat flour.
• Butter – For cooking so you can really use any fat or oil – coconut oil or avocado oil would also work well! Olive oil could be used, but it might give a more savory flavor.
• Optional – You can sprinkle some cinnamon into the batter if you like.

Toppings Ideas for Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

This healthy banana pancake recipe doesn’t need much in the form of toppings, but if toppings are your thing, then go all out! Here are a few ideas:

• Greek yogurt – Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt will add some filling protein (If Greek yogurt is too tart for your baby, try regular whole milk plain yogurt.)
• Fresh fruit – berries are my favorite, but sautéed apples or applesauce for dipping would also be delicious.
• Sprinkles – add a nutrition boost in the form of hemp or chia seeds or chopped nuts like almonds or peanuts. (Obviously need to watch out for choking hazards for young kids.)
• Classic pancakes toppings – butter and syrup is always delicious.
