What is the best pancake recipe for baby led weaning?

Pancakes are one of my favourite recipes for baby led weaning and with good reason! They are soft, easy for those little hands to hold and most of all can be packed to the brim with nutritious goodness. Served up with a few portions of fruit, topped with Greek yogurt and sometimes a drizzle of smooth nut butter, they quickly become a wholesome healthy breakfast for babies and toddlers, but also for Mommas too.

Remember, you need to take care of you too! So eat your breakfast while your baby does. It will do you the world of good and give you all the strength to take care of your family especially on busy days.

These are the best pancake recipes for baby led weaning – all tried and tested on my lovely babies.

Pea and Spinach Pancakes with Irish Salmon and Mint Yogurt Dip

After I took the photos these pancakes became little appetisers before our dinner. They look posh, are pretty inexpensive to make and they were devoured by everyone. The only problem I had was that I didn’t cook enough – Get the Recipe here

Teenie Tiny Baby Pancakes – Pancake Cereal for BLW

I LOVE these little pancakes. So so much. They are teenie tiny so perfect for those baby hands to manage, but also they are so super cute too. Great for toddlers, baby led weaning and I have to say I polished off a bowl myself very happily – Get the recipe here

Veggie Loaded Pancakes

Oscar has loved these little pancakes since he was 6 months old and I found it a great way to pack so many nutritious vegetables into every little bite – Get the recipe here

Healthy Chocolate Pancake Recipe for Kids

Think of pancakes like this – really soft, they easily break apart, they are the perfect size for little hands, and you can pack them with SO much goodness. I almost added grated courgette to these, but decided that I’d leave them as just a pancake without the veggies – Get the recipe here

Chickpea and Roasted Carrot Pancakes

I love making as many recipes as possible in my food processor or mini blender. With these pancakes, I can throw all of the ingredients into the blender and whip it up! My kids also LOVE to dip their food (in just about anything). So I like to add protein-rich Greek yogurt with a bit of lime and coriander to the side for dipping – Get the recipe here

Egg-Free Pancakes with Pineapple Coulis

This baby pancake recipe is egg-free and I also used a plant-based milk too so they are perfect for little ones with allergies. They don’t need any sweetener with the pineapple as it is already super sweet enough – Get the recipe here

Butternut Squash and Goats Cheese Pancake Recipe

Butternut squash not only tastes great, it is also one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat. It contains significant amounts of fibre, is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and if that isn’t enough it is really filling – Get the recipe here

Red Velvet Pancakes with Banana Nice Cream

It couldn’t be a regular pancake, oh no! It has to have the Baby Led Feeding twist! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you – The Red Velvet Pancake! A blend of softly roasted beetroot, vanilla and yumminess and the best part (so my children told me) was the banana and coconut ice cream. So creamy, so healthy and so yum! – Get the recipe here
