NOTES

EGGS

If your baby is allergic to eggs or you haven't introduced eggs yet, you can use mashed banana or apple sauce instead.

MILK

DO NOT GIVE COW MILK TO BABIES UNDER THE AGE OF ONE.

You can replace the cow milk with a yoghurt water mixture. Take equal parts yoghurt and water, mix together, and add it to the pancake batter.

BARLEY OAT FLOUR

If your baby is allergic to barley oat flour or you haven't introduced barley oat flour yet, you can use a homemade cereal mixture or plain almond flour.

HOW TO SERVE PANCAKES TO YOUR BABY?

6 MONTHS+

Long strips - They are easy for them to grab and munch on. Also it reduces the chances of choking on food as they get comfortable eating.

9 MONTHS+

Bite-sized pieces so that they can easily pick and eat since babies are always in a rush. 😆

12 MONTHS+

As desired - strips, bite-sized pieces, or mini pancakes, anything works; however, make sure how your baby is comfortable.
