Week 33 - Banana Pancakes for Baby

My latest craze, in addition to coming up with pancake recipes, is finding baby-friendly recipes.  At 11 months of age, my daughter is ripe for trying new things.  I love that she loves different flavors, foods, and textures.  While I don't want to pump her full of sugary treats, it doesn't seem right for us to eat pancakes in front of her and not give her any.

I ended up finding this on the Little Grazers website and made a few slight modifications.  My daughter gobbled them right up. Helps that her favorite fruit is banana.  Turns out bananas are a great natural sweetener to recipes. I like whisking the egg white separately before adding it to the rest of the batter because it results in a lighter, fluffier pancake.

My daughter loved these so much, I didn't have the heart to eat more than one, leaving the rest for her at a later time.  These freeze pretty well, so I can give her homemade pancakes anytime.  Just pop them in the microwave or toaster and breakfast is served!  Jó étvágyat!

  
Banana Pancakes for Baby
Ingredients
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1 Tbsp butter, melted, plus more for griddle/pan

Directions
Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to a large jug.
Add the eggs, banana and oil and then gradually add the milk, mixing as you do. Your batter should be well combined, but still a little lumpy.

Melt a little butter in frying pan or skillet over a medium high heat and add a couple of dessert spoons of the mix per pancake.
When you start to see little bubbles appear in the top of the batter, gently flip over, both sides should be golden. Repeat process with remaining batter.
