Apple Oat Pancakes for Babies (6 Months+)

Ingredients

• 1 Apple (large, cored and chopped)
• 0.5 cup Oats (rolled or quick oats)
• 0.25 cup Milk (breast milk, formula, or whole cow's milk)
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon (ground)
• 1 Egg (large)
• 1 tsp Unsalted Butter (for greasing the pan)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the apple by washing and coring it. You can leave the skin on for extra nutrients as it will be pulverized in the blender.

2. 2

   Place the chopped apple, 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 egg into a blender.

3. 3

   Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and the oats have turned into a fine batter consistency.

4. 4

   Heat a non-stick frying pan or pancake pan over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter to lightly coat the surface.

5. 5

   Pour small amounts of the batter into the pan to create mini pancakes (roughly 2-3 inches wide), which are easier for babies to grasp.

6. 6

   Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until the edges appear set and small bubbles form. Flip carefully with a spatula.

7. 7

   Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure they are soft and not over-browned for younger babies.

8. 8

   Remove from the pan and allow to cool to a safe temperature before serving.

Notes
