Baby Led Weaning
These mini banana pancakes have been served at my house every weekend for years. They were one of my kids’ first solid breakfasts and are still a top contender on our breakfast table! It’s a super-easy, quick recipe that is easily customizable and adaptable for younger kids. I served them with unsweetened whipped cream and/or apple purée to cut the sugar. As the kids grew older, I added a mini bowl of maple syrup for dipping—a great way to start the day!
Ingredients Breakdown
Banana: Yes! Bananas work as a natural thickener for pancakes. Their creamy texture helps bind ingredients together, making the batter thicker without extra flour. Plus, they add natural sweetness and moisture, so you can often skip the sugar and some of the fat. Perfect for fluffy, wholesome pancakes!
Almond flour makes pancakes nutty and fluffy! It adds a slight sweetness and a dose of healthy fats and protein. The result? Light, moist, and slightly crispy pancakes with a deliciously rich texture!
Cinnamon in pancakes is like a warm hug for your taste buds! It adds a cozy, slightly spicy sweetness that pairs perfectly with syrup, fruit, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Cinnamon has antioxidants and can help balance blood sugar, so it’s a tasty little health boost in every bite!
Toppings and Sides
Although they do taste fantastic by themselves, here are a few ideas of sides or toppings to serve them with:
- Maple syrup, honey or agave syrup.
- Nut butters: almond, pistachio, cashew, peanuts, etc.
- Whipped cream (sweet or unsweetened)
- Fruits (Berries especially)
- Apple purée (sweet or unsweetened)
- Melted Chocolate or Caramel

Those pancakes 🥞 came out great. Almond flour is not easy to work with, but your pancake recipe produces some good looking product. I am sure they taste just as delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Kevin. I’m glad you like them!
Your pancakes went down a treat with our family, loved how they were naturally sweet. Cinnamon was a nice touch.
So cute and tasty! These little pancakes disappeared in no time!
These little bites are so soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon really makes the banana flavor pop. I added a bit of maple syrup, but honestly, they’re amazing even by themselves.
My kids loved these and I loved how quick and easy they were to make
These mini banana pancakes are amazing!
