Why Make Baby Pancakes?
Baby pancakes are the first baby food to use in the baby-led weaning feeding approach. They are soft, hand-sized eggless banana pancakes easy to hold with small hands and made of 3 simple ingredients, safe for infants 6 months old and older or ready to eat solid foods. A baby-led weaning banana pancake recipe is made of whole food to bring nutrients to your infant. It’s naturally:
Sugar-free – doesn’t contain added sugar. Baking powder-free – baking powder can upset infants under 1-year-old, and it’s unnecessary for babies. Allergy-friendly – nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free options.
The purpose of baby pancakes is to develop baby sensory skills: taste, touch, and smell. It means that banana pancakes for babies don’t get fluffy. Their purpose is to add nutrient, infant-safe baby-led weaning experience.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Banana – I am using small, slightly ripe bananas. The recipe works with my baby pumpkin puree for a veggie pancake recipe. Milk of choice – can use breastmilk or calcium-fortified soy milk or almond milk. Flour– or white whole wheat flour.

Serving Baby Pancakes To Infants
These are quick and easy baby pancakes to set up a healthy baby finger food breakfast plate. You can add some other food around your baby plate-like fresh soft fruits or non-dairy yogurt. They are baby and toddler-friendly. You can also make a batch of m 2-Ingredient Chia Seed Jam or Vegan Lemon Curd. It’s not recommended to offer sweeteners to babies and infants, even safe sweeteners like maple syrup. The best-tasting experience is to offer no sugar for up to 1 year old to let the kids learn the real flavor of whole foods.
