Can I freeze these pancakes?

Yes! Let them cool completely, then freeze them flat on a baking sheet. Once frozen solid, transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave.

Are these safe for a 6-month-old baby?

Absolutely. As long as you have safely introduced egg (a common allergen), the soft texture of these pancakes is perfect for babies starting solids. You can cut them into thick strips to make them easier for little fists to grasp.

What if I don't have oat flour?

You can easily make your own by pulsing regular rolled oats or quick oats in a blender until they form a fine powder, or simply substitute with regular whole-wheat flour.

Little Monkey's Banana Oat Pancakes

Vegetarian · 6m+ · en

These quick and easy pancakes use just mashed banana, an egg, and oat flour to create a soft, naturally sweet breakfast. With a dash of warming cinnamon, they are the perfect autumn treat for tiny hands learning to self-feed.

Always use overripe, spotty bananas; green bananas won't mash well and lack the natural sweetness babies love.
For older toddlers, serve with a thin smear of unsweetened peanut butter or a dollop of plain yogurt.
Test the temperature of the thickest pancake on your own wrist before giving it to your baby.
