Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats (certified gluten free)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup milk (can use non-dairy or regular milk)
Instructions
- Prepare oat flour: Place the rolled oats in a blender and pulse a few times until they reach a fine, flour-like texture, which will create a smooth pancake batter.
- Blend ingredients: Add the egg, unsweetened applesauce, milk, cinnamon, and baking powder to the blender with the oat flour. Blend all ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Heat skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat, and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of the batter onto the warm skillet for each mini pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then gently flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the pancakes to cool. Serve in small pieces suitable for babies to pick up, or whole for older toddlers. Optionally, pair with a spread of nut butter and fresh fruit for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the recipe is safe for gluten-sensitive babies.
- You can substitute non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- If serving to babies with allergy concerns, ensure nut butters are introduced appropriately or omitted.
- The batter thickness can be adjusted slightly by adding more milk if too thick or more oats if too thin.
- Allow pancakes to cool completely before serving to babies to avoid choking hazards.
