Looking for a quick, wholesome breakfast your baby will actually want to eat? These strawberry pancakes are a hit in our home — soft, naturally sweet, and full of simple ingredients you likely already have on hand. Perfect for baby-led weaning or as a finger food snack!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole oats (not instant)
- 1 egg
- Milk (add as needed to get a loose, pancake-like consistency)
- Sliced strawberries
- Cinnamon (optional, to taste)
- Butter or olive oil (for the pan)
Grind the Oats
Place the whole oats in a blender and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like texture or very small chunks — think baby-friendly!
Mix It All Together
In a bowl, whisk the egg and slowly add milk until the mixture forms a loose, pourable paste. Sprinkle in some cinnamon if your little one enjoys a hint of spice.
Add the Strawberries
Gently stir in the sliced strawberries. They’ll add natural sweetness and soft bites of fruit in every pancake.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or olive oil. Scoop a spoonful of the mix with a strawberry slice and drop it onto the pan. Cook each side until golden brown — about 1–2 minutes per side.
Serve & Enjoy
Let the pancakes cool slightly before serving. They’re soft, easy to hold, and great for little hands exploring solid foods.
