Pancakes for infants

[Anonymous]

By the way - I made the above apple pancake rings without honey when DS was younger. Now at 13 months I still don't use the raw honey, just regular.

And don't forget pancake syrup!

I don't know why you'd worry so much about 2 tbs. of sugar added to a big batch of pancakes, when your baby will likely eat half of a pancake. I'm all about not buying baby yogurt with added sugars, juice, cookies, etc., but I would totally not worry about this one. Don't put maple syrup on his, but definitely give him butter and top with fresh berries. I usually do whole wheat pancakes, and I use raw sugar, but I don't hesitate to let him have a touch of sugar here and there. Pumpkin pancakes are good, too, with added nutrients from the pumpkin puree.

I make the recipe listed here. It calls for honey but you can substited maple syrup or try leaving it out.

Mung bean and scallion pancakes. I'm half kidding - my kids eat mung bean and regular pancakes.

Not sugar, but a little bit of honey:

I also add 1-2 TBSP of flax seed and 2-3 TBSP of finely ground hazelnut flour which gives it a lovely nutty/earthy flavor.

My twins have loved these pancakes since they were around a year old. I've tried it with regular milk instead of buttermilk and it's better with buttermilk.

I make mine with whole wheat flour, quick oats, whole milk, splash of vinegar, canola oil, and a couple jars of puréed baby food veggies and some applesauce or mashed banana. Sooo good!

Have you ever tried cornmeal pancakes? Sorry no recipie off the top of my head. THey are awesome, spread with a little jam and butter, or just add some fruit purée to the mix.

I like to mix plain Greek yogurt into pancake mixes in place of water or milk.

We use Pamela's; they're great: http://www.pamelasproducts.com/products/baking-mixes/pamelas-baking-pancake-mix/

i substitute a "chia egg" or "flax egg" for the real egg ... makes them much more substantial.

I actually had a friends who was feeding her infant low-fat food (mind you her kids were 10 months and underweight).

Kids (and everyone) need fats in the diet. No one needs added sugar.

Ah, no. Hungry Jack will definitely have sugar.

Crepe recipes don't have sugar and are very easy to make in an ordinary pan. My baby loves them.
