Today we have a wonderful pancake recipe for you that’s sugar-free, egg-free and makes a great, easy-to-eat finger food for older babies!
Ideal for babies with an egg allergy, these pancakes are full of flavour and are great for breakfast.
Their texture is a bit thicker than ‘regular’ pancakes, which gives them a perfect, gummable texture and makes them easy for baby to pick up.
This mixture makes 8 to 10 pancakes – either share them with your baby, or freeze some for another day!
To Make These Sugar-Free, Egg-Free Pancakes for Baby you’ll need…
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup oats
pinch cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1/2 cup applesauce (here’s a recipe to make your own)
1 cup apple juice
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Stir in the applesauce.
Stir in the apple juice until it is thoroughly combined. You should now have a batter that looks like oatmeal.
Spoon the mixture on to a good non-stick griddle, forming individual pancakes.* Because the mixture is quite thick, we like to flatten it a little with the back of the spoon.
Cook for a few minutes, until golden on the bottom.
Turn carefully with a spatula and do the same on the other side, then cool for a bit and serve!
*We prefer to cook these in batches of 2 to 3. Turning them over can be tricky – it’s much easier to do if the pan isn’t overcrowded.

Really enjoyed this recipe! Didn't have oat bran so added some extra oat cereal. Little Man loved them! Will try with blueberries next time. I did find that making small pancakes on the first batch made them difficult to flip, but that's my own fault! I ended up getting 12 and will serve one for breakfast with a little fruit. Thanks for a great recipe!

I didn't have any applejuice so I just substituted water and used alittle extra applesauce (organic, natural, unsweetened). My (almost) 10 month old LOVED them. I also added 1 TBSPof ground flax to them and added a couple smashed blueberries to a few of them. So good. Thanks for the recipe!

Regarding the apple juice, I was just think to drop an apple or two into a juice maker and make my own, no sugar! :)

At the top it says these are sugar free, so imagine my dissapointment when I go to the bottom and saw the apple juice! The small amount of apple sauce I can handle, but juice is just vitamin infused sugar water--no real benefit. Juice is not good for kids, cant wait for people to catch on to that.

Well, the applesauce recipe we link to does not contain sugar - we recommend using naturally sweet apples. And you can use 100% pure unsweetened apple juice - we use Sun Rype (not sure if that's available in your area).
