Great Recipe For Gluten Free Babies
This two-ingredient recipe of banana and egg is an excellent choice for gluten-free babies, as it naturally contains no gluten, making it safe for little ones with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
The banana provides a naturally sweet flavour and essential nutrients, while the egg introduces a source of protein, supporting healthy growth and development.
This simple combination is not only easy to prepare but also creates a delightful texture that's perfect for baby-led weaning, allowing babies to explore flavours and indulge in healthy eating habits from a young age. The only thing is they will be wanting more.
Ingredient information
Egg - I have used a medium free range egg for this recipe, but you can use large eggs too.
Great to add a little more protein into babies diet. Great if your little one does not like eggs cooked on their own.
Single banana - I have used a large banana that is overripe for this recipe, I find they mash easily and they have the most flavour, great for this recipe.
Unsalted butter - I have used a little unsalted butter so that the pancake does not stick to the pan, you could use coconut oil or a vegan spread if you prefer to make the recipe suitable for vegan and plant based babies.
Serving suggestion
The delicious pancakes would be great served with plain natural yogurt or plain Greek yogurt.
You can also try adding a little ground cinnamon to the pancake mix to add a little more flavour.
You could also serve with optional ingredients like quartered berries such as strawberries, extra banana slices, blackberries or raspberries for a yummy breakfast recipe.

Storage instructions
The good news is that the 2-ingredient banana pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months in the freezer if you have any pieces leftover. They can be stored in a freezer bag or a an airtight container.
If you are making more than one banana egg pancakes, store in the airtight container the best way to do this is layer the pancakes in between parchment paper. You could also store in individual small airtight containers if this is easier.
If you are storing in the fridge the pancake can be kept in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To defrost and reheat, what you will need to do, is take out the pancake from the freezer and place in the fridge overnight to fully thaw.
Once thawed the pancake can be enjoyed cold, or you can reheat in the oven on 180C or 350F for 5 minutes.
Check that the pancake is hot all the way through, and leave to cool at an acceptable temperature for your baby.
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Frying pan - I love the non-stick surface of this particular frying pan and it’s suitable for all types of hob.
Airtight container - I much prefer the click-shut lids on these containers compared to others. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe and BPA free, so very suitable for food use.
Medium bowl - Definitely choose a stainless steel one - they are lighter than the stone or glass ones and very easy to clean.
