Blueberry Oat Pancake Strips for Babies

These three-ingredient pancakes use egg to bind oats and mashed blueberries. The strip shape gives an early self-feeder something to hold while exploring a soft, cooked texture. Make a small test pancake and check the centre before cooking the whole batch.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Rinse blueberries, then squash every berry completely with a fork; do not leave round whole berries in the batter.

  2. Whisk the egg thoroughly with mashed blueberries and oats. Allow the mixture to stand briefly so the oats soften and hydrate; add a little safe water only if it seems too thick.

  3. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over low to medium-low heat and spoon out small, thin pancakes to help the egg cook evenly.

  4. Turn gently and cook until the centres are completely set with no wet egg batter; egg dishes should reach 71°C (160°F) where measurable.

  5. Cool and check the pancakes are soft and easy to tear, not crisp or rubbery. Cut into developmentally suitable graspable strips and supervise.

Serving by Age

Cook until the batter is fully set, with no wet middle. Cut into thick, tender strips for a baby learning to grasp, and into smaller soft pieces once your baby handles them comfortably. Flatten any whole blueberries left in the mixture.

6 months+

Serve thick pancake strips baby can grasp.

9 months+

Cut into bite-sized pieces.
