- In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 2: Bake the Pancakes
- Pour the batter onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Step 3: Slice & Serve
- Let the pancake cool slightly, then slice into strips for baby-led weaning or squares for easy bites add more fruits like blue berry and raspberry (optional)
💡 Tip: For younger babies, serve plain or with mashed fruit on top. For toddlers, spread a little nut butter or yogurt for extra nutrition!
