Words OXO

1…2…Pancakes. This easy (and healthy) pancake recipe is a great early food for your little one, if you’re doing baby led weaning, and is delicious enough that the whole family will want to dig into a short stack too.

Bananas are a great food for your little one who is just starting solids. They’re packed with good nutrients like potassium and their natural sweetness provides flavor.

These easy, healthy pancakes don’t have any added sugar or flour, and they come together in just a few short steps (and with ingredients you probably already have on hand!). Serve them plain or spread with a thin layer of peanut butter or almond butter for an even more delicious snack or breakfast.

This recipe comes from Jenna Helwig’s book, Baby-Led Feeding, which features healthy, wholesome recipes to get you started with baby-led feeding.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Banana Pancakes

Break the egg into a medium bowl and beat with a fork.

Add cinnamon. The batter will seem very runny (and that’s OK!).

Drop the banana batter by tablespoonfuls onto the pan.

Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes on the first side and 1 or 2 minutes on the second.
