Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium very ripe banana (about 1/2 cup mashed)
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- butter or oil for the skillet, as needed
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium to medium low heat.
- Mash the banana well, trying to get as many lumps out as possible. You should get about 1/2 cup.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- Stir in the flour until the streaks just disappear.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, careful not to over-mix.
- Melt a small amount of butter or oil in the skillet.
- Scoop the batter by 2 tbsp (I use a cookie scoop) into the skillet. Cook pancakes until edges start to dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and continue cooking until pancakes are cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
- Cool pancakes before serving to baby.
Notes
- You want really ripe (brown) bananas since they will be sweeter.
- For gluten-free, use your favorite cup-for-cup GF flour.
- You want in season blueberries for the best flavor. Otherwise, you can use frozen wild blueberries (the tiny ones) that are thawed and drained.
- Keep the heat on the lower side since these pancakes take a little bit longer than regular pancakes.
- Use this recipe as a starting point and make it your own! You can add vanilla or almond extract, cinnamon, lemon zest, or swap the blueberries for raspberries or strawberries.
