How to Make Sheet Pan Pancakes

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet (9x13 inch) with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
  • Whisk in the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add the flour and baking powder, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

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!

 


Feeding Tips & Variations
