Servings 1 serving
Cost $2.00
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized ripe banana mashed nice and smooth
- 1 medium or large egg
- ¼ cup rice or oatmeal baby cereal
Instructions
- Mix all three ingredients together in a bowl.
- Heat a griddle (what I used!) or non-stick skillet over LOW heat (275 degrees.)If the griddle is too hot, the pancakes WILL BURN AND STICK. If you don't want sticky or slightly malformed pancakes, you also need to use non-stick cooking spray or coconut oil.
- Spoon batter onto griddle into desired size of pancakes. Small pancakes make better finger foods and are also easier to cook throuhg. If your pancakes are too squishy or runny, add extra cereal to firm them up so you can turn them more easily.
- Cook until bottoms are lightly browned.
- Flip over and cook until pancake is cooked through. Do not overcook, as they will burn and stick.Giving them a squish with the spatula after the flip to help them cook better. It only takes one minute per side for my tiny pancakes, but check with a food thermometer to make sure the temperature hits 160 degress. Also, since they are just banana, egg, and cereal, they will still have a VERY mushy consistency, which is why they're perfect for babies with no teeth! They will be less mushy once cooled and refrigerated, if not served immediately.
- Serve with baby food fruit puree as topping or dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freezer for 3 months.
Reheat in the microwave or in your griddle/skillet.
Always watch for allergies in babies, as these do contain eggs.
