Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute gluten-free flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (can substitute with breastmilk, formula, or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Plain yogurt for topping
  • Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Instructions

  1. Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly using a fork or potato masher.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Beat the egg into the mashed banana, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour small rounds of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  5. Serve with Yogurt: Let the pancakes cool to a safe temperature. Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt on top or on the side for dipping.

Remember, when introducing new foods to your baby, it’s crucial to monitor for any signs of allergies or intolerances. Introducing one new food at a time can help identify any potential issues. If using formula or breastmilk, consider the added nutritional benefits and choose what aligns best with your feeding practices.
