3 Ingredient Baby Led Weaning Spinach and Banana Pancakes

Share this post with your friends!

I’m sure I can’t be the only one who gets overwhelmed from time to time with this baby led weaning malarky. It can be such hard work trying to think up different meals to offer baby and not get stuck in a rut offering the same food day in, day out. Some days I also feel pretty lazy. It can be a tough gig cooking three meals from scratch everyday, especially if you have other children to look after too and even more so if those other children are toddlers! This 3 ingredient baby led weaning pancake recipe is designed for those lazy mornings where you just want to throw three ingredients into a bowl, mix it up and create a healthy, yet yummy breakfast for your baby. If you’re lucky, your toddler might even have one or two as well!

This recipe is essentially the 2 ingredient banana pancake recipe, with some spinach thrown in for some extra nutrition.

It takes less than five minutes to prepare, five minutes to cook and will probably be devoured in an equal length of time.

Little baby sized pancakes like these are one of my favourite foods to offer to baby, especially when they’re first starting out with baby led weaning because they’re so soft and really easy for them to handle and self feed. If you are brand new to baby led weaning, this pancake recipe is the perfect first food and very similar to Dexter’s first ever food on our baby led weaning journey.

I hope you enjoy this 3 ingredient baby led weaning pancake recipe and that your baby loves it as much as my boys do.
