Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes for the Whole Family

Here's another yummy pancake breakfast that the whole family can enjoy. These have whole grains, fiber, vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and protein. These are for babies 8+ months, and mommies and daddies of all ages.

Here's what you'll need:

3/4 cup multigrain pancake mix (I use arrowhead mills so I don't need to use eggs)

3 tblsp organic oats

1/2 cup organic unsweetened applesauce

1 tblsp ground cinnamon

1/3 cup plain greek yogurt or organic whole milk plain yogurt

1 tblsp olive oil
2 eggs (if using pancake mix other than arrowhead mills)

Mix all ingredients together until well blended. Heat 2 tblsp olive oil in a large skillet. Ladle the pancake batter into the skillet and cook. Flip when you start to see air bubbles in the pancake. Serve and enjoy!

Banana Pear Oatmeal

This is what we had for breakfast this morning. Sometimes there's nothing better than a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning :)

3 tablespoons organic rolled oats
1 oz pear puree
2 oz mashed banana

Add approximately 1/3 cup filtered water to the oats and cook for 2 minutes (I use quick cooking oats, if you use regular oats it should take 10 minutes). Once oats are cooked add pear puree and banana. Let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to your little one.

Enjoy!

Mango Blueberry Oatmeal

Here's what Mommy and Baby are having for breakfast this morning:

2 tablespoons organic rolled oats
1 oz mango puree
1 oz blueberry puree
1-2 pinches cinnamon

(Your baby must be at least 6 months to eat homemade oats and mangoes, and atleast 8 months to eat pureed blueberry. If your baby is less than 8 months try mixing mangoes with banana)

If you are making this for you and baby to eat double the recipe.

In a small sauce pan cook oats with 6 to 7 tablespoons of filtered water (I'm sure this is probably equal to a quarter or half cup, but I use the tablespoon because I have it out already from measuring oats). I use quick cooking oats so they are usually done in about 2 minutes.  Remove from heat. Add mango and blueberry puree and stir until blended. You can add breastmilk or formula to cool down or thin out the oatmeal. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!
