Baby Food Pancakes
Prep time: 15 minutesMakes about 8 3-inch pancakes
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp canola oil
4 oz baby food puree (I used beets for this batch, hence their lovely color!)
1/4 cup water
tiniest pinch of salt, optional
Stir together the flour and the baking powder; add in oil, puree, and water (and salt, if using) and stir well. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Drop batter onto griddle to make small pancakes. Cook, flipping after about 2 minutes, until cooked through. Cool and serve (freeze leftovers!).

Thank you so much for this recipe! My 8 month old wants nothing to do with baby food. Plus these would be great to take with us for dining out!
They're a lot less messy for on-the-go feeding, that's for sure! :-) I'm glad my baby's not the only anti-puree baby around. Who knew they could be so picky at such a young age? :-)
and i thought i was the only one who dumped baby food puree into batters. i spread them on sandwiches too. my kids always wanted what i was eating, as i fixed my plate when i put them in the high chair. so veggie puree food it was for my babies!
Ooh, I like the sandwich spread idea! I'm having trouble feeding this little one, finding things both easy to chew but not spoon-fed!
I love adding purees to our pancakes. Everyone loves them. I hadn't tried beets though!
The other day I bought some beets thinking I can puree them for my 7 month old son. I did some reaserch about giving beets to babies and I found this coment on kidshealth.org> I thought should share with you:"Avoid home-prepared beets, collard greens, spinach, and turnips. They can contain high levels of nitrates, which can cause anemia in infants. Serve jarred varieties of those vegetables"
Hope this helps ! Mary
