Want to offer your clients a different take on the “classic” banana pancake?

Try my Baby Led Weaning-friendly apple cinnamon pancakes.

This is the perfect recipe to add to a breakfast rotation. In my household, banana-egg pancakes are a staple of our breakfast rotation. Why? Because they are simple and made with wholesome and nutritious ingredients. Eggs in particular are loaded with nutrients which babies need. Add some almond butter and apples to the mix, and you are in for a delicious, no sugar or salt added, grain-free treat. 

This recipe couldn’t be any more simple to make.

First, I mashed my bananas in a large bowl.  

Next, I grated the apple. As seen in this picture, you can leave the skin on the apple. It's faster and the skin adds fibre to the pancakes.  

After that, I added the rest of the ingredients.  

I gave the ingredients a good stir until they were well combined.

Then, I poured about ⅛ cup spoonfuls of batter onto a preheated pan.

Once the pancakes started to bubble, I flipped them gently with a spatula.

*Please note that these pancakes do not have the same texture as pancakes made with wheat flour.*

Finally, I let them cool on a wire rack and enjoyed them immediately.
