Steps
Mash the banana: In a medium bowl, mash your banana. It’s really best if your banana is nice and ripe with brown spots on the peel!
Mix the batter: Crack two eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana and whisk with a fork until well combined. It’s okay if there are lumps of banana. Next, add in coconut flour and milk and mix to combine. Batter should be similar to traditional pancake batter; if it’s way too thick, you may need to add in more milk, however, it’s important you only start with a teaspoon at a time.
Cook: Lightly coat a nonstick pan or nonstick griddle with butter, coconut oil, vegan butter or olive oil and place over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until pancakes slightly puff up, are golden underneath and you see a few bubbles along the edges.
Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on the underside. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower the heat. I normally start on medium heat, then decrease to medium low later so that my pancakes don't burn. If at any point your griddle starts smoking or if your pancakes are burning, it means your pan is too hot.
Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with more oil/butter and remaining batter. Makes 9 mini pancakes total. Serves 1. Feel free to serve as is or spread with nut butter or yogurt! Please serve to your baby/toddler in sizes that are appropriate for their eating abilities.

Alexis on 2026-07-04 (5 stars): These turned out so yummy, my one year old basically inhaled them. She isn’t the biggest fan of sugar free syrup and she can’t have peanut butter, so I just left them plain.
I also used coconut flour, I’ve only just began learning how to cook since having my daughter, so it’s safe to say I’m not the best or very knowledgeable, so I possibly didn’t take the proper steps for using coconut flour instead of any other flour, or maybe this is a normal thing. But, my pancakes did not have any little air bubbles, it did get a noticeably different outer ring though when it was time to flip.
Side note: I might have also cooked them on too high of heat, but they still turned out delicious. Highly recommend this recipe!
Tess on 2025-11-10 (1 stars): These didnt work for us. They were glorified eggs, nothing like pancakes for us unfortunately.
Lauren on 2025-09-20 (5 stars): My daughter and I loved this recipe! I didn't end up needing to add any milk since the batter seemed the right consistency without it. I did add a splash of vanilla extract though! The pancakes were sweet enough to eat plain.
