Family Friendly Baby Recipe!

When Sofia was able to move from simple purees to more solid textures at around 9 months I began trying to incorporate food that we all could enjoy. Pancakes were one of my favorites. They can be made small for little hands to hold and can be made in quantity and frozen. They are also a great on the go food and you can make them sweet or savory. I make whole wheat pancakes for her now with all sorts of super healthy & yummy ingredients - they are a perfect snack for a growing toddler. Here's a great recipe I found on Weelicious - it's basically bananas dipped in pancake batter then cooked on a skillet-what a great idea for a breakfast side or snack. This would be tasty with pears or peaches as well. They also have some fantastic pancake batter recipes. I can't wait to try this one out this weekend! xo Nicole

2 Bananas
1 Cup Pancake Batter (Your favorite boxed brand OR your weelicious favorite recipe: Whole Wheat Oat Pancakes, Raspberr-Wee Pancakes (minus the raspberries) or even Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes)

Accompaniments: Honey, maple syrup, yogurt or a healthy berry sauce

1. Cut the bananas into 1/4 inch slices (I like to make slices on a diagonal bias so their a little bit longer than circles).
2. One at a time, dip the banana slices into the batter, coating all over, shaking off the excess batter into the bowl and place on a buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat.
3. Cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden.
4. Serve.
