Can I freeze these pancakes?

Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can reheat them quickly in a toaster or microwave.

How should I serve these to my 6-month-old?

For baby-led weaning beginners, cut the pancakes into thick strips (about the size of two adult fingers) so they are easy for baby to grasp and gnaw on.

Do I have to use Japanese sweet potatoes?

While Japanese sweet potatoes (satsumaimo) are naturally sweeter and drier (perfect for pancake batter), you can use regular orange sweet potatoes. You may just need to add a little oat flour if the batter is too wet.
