Recipe: Banana Oat Pancakes

Why It’s Great for Moms on the Go: This recipe uses minimal ingredients, comes together quickly, and can be made in batches for easy storage.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup oats (rolled or quick-cooking)

  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

  • A splash of milk (breastmilk, formula, or regular milk, if needed for consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Add the egg, oats, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to form a batter. If the batter is too thick, add a small splash of milk to thin it out.

  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter.

  4. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan to form small pancakes, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. Let the pancakes cool before serving to your baby.

Serving Tip:
These pancakes are soft enough for little hands to grab and chew but sturdy enough to pack for outings. Pair with a few slices of fruit or a dollop of yogurt for added nutrition.
