Baby Led Weaning Recipe: Baked Pancake

Share this post with your friends!

As I am sure my regular readers are aware, we love baby led weaning pancakes! We’ve tried banana pancakes, sweet potato pancakes, scotch pancakes and now we have this baked pancake recipe.

This baked recipe is totally baby led weaning friendly. There’s no added salt or sugar; it uses unsalted butter and the fruit makes it sweet enough. It takes only 25 minutes to bake and can be left to do so while you get on with doing something else. Best of all, the baked pancake tastes incredible!

How to Bake Pancakes in the Oven

  • Place a cast iron pan into the oven at 190C (180C fan) while it preheats.
  • In one bowl add flour and baking powder and combine.
  • In another bowl, whisk an egg until frothy, then add milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Combine the egg/milk mixture with the flour and mix until a batter forms.
  • Once the oven is preheated, carefully take the pan out and add the final tablespoon of butter. Ensure the butter reaches all areas of the pan to sufficiently grease it.
  • Pour the pancake mixture into the pan, then stop with berries of your choice.
  • Bake for 25 minutes (or until golden brown)

What did everyone think of the baked pancake?

The baked pancake was enjoyed by everyone, especially Dexter. It’s definitely one I’ll be trying again with a variety of fruit.

I was a bit worried that it would come out tasting like a Yorkshire pudding; don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Yorkshire pudding, just not in this setting. However, it tasted just like a regular pancake, with yummy crispy edges that tasted like a cookie.

Hey how do you make the baked pancake if you don't have a cast iron pan? Would it work in a normal cake tin? Thanks ?
