Baby food pancake recipe. Our favorite.

These are my favorite to make my little.  She can't get enough of them. Also a nice thing here is we but our baby cereal on the economy so they have ones designed for ages with flavors. Today's was strawberry.  Yum!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup uncooked commercial baby cereal
1 cup formula (or another liquid such as milk)
1/2 cup apple sauce.  I used an apple banana one that was rather thick. Baby food could also be used here.
1 tbsp melted margarine or butter (unsalted type)
3 egg yolks
apple juice (about 1/2 cup maybe more) or use water if you prefer. Were adding this for pancake batter consistency. I generally just use water because of the extra sugar juice adds.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, dash of vanilla or other flavorings if you like. These are so customizable!

Step 1: Mix all ingredients together and add enough juice/water to make pancake consistency.

Step 2: Cook on your cook top in a frying pan as you would with “regular” pancakes. Cooking these baby cereal pancakes on a griddle will work better as you will have more control over the temperature and will be better able to keep the temp. at a constant heat.

**Freezes Well**

Cherry banana puree

1 bad frozen cherries thawed
3 very ripe bananas

Blend!  Place in individual containers. This thickens up which is awesome.
Fridge lasts 2 to 3 days
Freezer 3 months

My little is in the fork mashed stage and loves this right from the fridge.

Yogurt drops

My little is teething and can't get enough of these!
It's so simple too.

Take yogurt you have on hand.  I happened to have Greek blueberry. Place in a sandwich sized ziplock or piping bag. Clip the tip and squeeze out little drops of yogurt on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and then freeze about 30 min to an hour. Pop off the drops into a freezer container and tah dah! Tasty melty baby treats.
