Plain flour 15g cornflour 15g milk (formula milk) 60g half a banana 1 egg yolk

Cooking steps

Step 1

Press the banana into a puree. Tips: If you like a grainy texture, you don't have to crush the banana too much. Even for babies who can only crush food with their gums, try to keep the banana as granular as possible so that babies can practice chewing and swallowing.

Step 2

Pour in the egg yolks, flour, cornstarch, and milk, and mix well. Tips: Toss the banana and flour together, no need to over mix, just let it blend. Each brand of flour has a different water absorption capacity, so if the batter is too sticky, you need to add a small amount of liquid (milk or water) to adjust the consistency of the batter, and adjust it until the batter is able to show the state of liquidity.

Step 3

Leave the batter for 10 minutes to allow all the ingredients to absorb and mix.

Step 4

Turn a non-stick frying pan on low heat, scoop a spoonful of batter and spread it into a pancake shape. Fry until the top is set, then flip and continue frying for 2 minutes. Tips: Bananas oxidize easily, so work quickly or the pancakes will be slightly sour and dark in color. In addition, after frying 2 or 3, you can turn off the heat, rinse the pan with water, and let the temperature cool down before frying. This will also help prevent the pancakes from burning. Spread the pancakes as thin as possible to make them softer.

Step 5

Finish by topping the pancakes with your baby's favorite fruit or drizzling with maple syrup or jam. Tips: This pastry combines the creaminess of milk with the sweetness of banana, and has a lighter and more appealing flavor on its own. It's perfectly acceptable for babies around 1 year old. You can also slather on a little more jam or maple syrup if an older child wants something sweeter.

Tips

While it's best to have some fats in the menu for the little North Nose, as a breakfast or afternoon tea, fats and oils that are too much will increase the burden on the baby's stomach and intestines, as well as contribute to obesity later in life. This dish is the masterpiece of a flash of insight when I realized that I had carelessly forgotten to buy oil, but the result was surprisingly good. The two little ones in my family are used to my "cooking style" of less oil and less sugar, so even without sugar, they can still enjoy it. I hope you will join me in helping your baby develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
