Servings: 14 mini pancakes
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup mashed extra-ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tablespoon refined coconut oil plus more for cooking
  • 4-6 tablespoons milk plus more if needed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice or cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt optional, see notes

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and pumpkin spice and salt (if using). Set it aside.
  2. Lightly whisk an egg in a large bowl. Then, add the mashed banana, pumpkin puree, and coconut oil and mix them together.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Then, add the milk a tablespoon or two at a time, until you reach a good consistency. The batter should be slightly thick but still easy to pour.
  4. Heat a little bit of oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Form pancakes by pouring the batter into the pan. I use an 1/8th cup to portion the batter, but you can make them any size you’d like.
  5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin the change color and a few bubbles form on the batter. Then, flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until cooked all the way through. Enjoy!

Notes

  • While salt is important to the taste of the pancakes, giving babies added salt is not recommended. If you're serving these pancakes to a child under 1, add salt at your own discretion.
 
  • These pancakes can be frozen if they will not be eaten within a few days. The best way to freeze them is to lay them flat (in a single layer) in an airtight container or freezer bag. To freeze multiple layers, place a piece of parchment paper in between layers to keep them from freezing together.
