Sweet potato pancakes for baby led weaning (egg free)
If your baby is a fan of pancakes then this egg-free recipe using sweet potato is a great option to add in some variation. It's handy for using up any leftover sweet potato, and nice to be able to include some extra goodness at breakfast time!
Ingredients
- 80 g cooked sweet potato, mashed
- 120 g self raising flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 150 ml plant milk, unsweetened and calcium fortified
- 3 tbsp olive oil (plus some extra for frying)
- ½ tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash up the cooked sweet potato in a large mixing bowl, until smooth.
- Stir in all other ingredients to form a thick batter.
- Heat up a drizzle of oil in a non stick pan, then add spoonfuls of the batter and fry for a few minutes each side on a medium heat. Wait until you see bubbles before you do the first flip. Cook the pancakes in batches of three or four at a time; I always add a little more oil in between batches
Notes
- If you or your child has an allergy, always double check that the recipe and all of the components are suitable. This includes checking ‘may contain’ statements on each ingredient and making your own assessment of risk based on personal circumstances.
