Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Frypan
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flour (or any other gluten free flour)
- 1 Egg
- 2/3 cup Coconut Milk (or any other dairy free milk)
- Handful Blueberries
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds.

- Scoop out pancake batter into pan and fry on both sides for two minutes each.
- Serve to your baby cooled.
Notes
- You can make swaps for the following:
- Coconut flour: any other gluten free flour, especially, tapioca, rice or buckwheat. If using another flour, especially buckwheat, you may need to add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder as a leavening agent.
- Egg: if your baby is under 10 months old, then I suggest adding only the yolk to the recipe, as egg white should not be introduced to your baby until 10 months of age. However, you can always omit the egg by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder or adding a ripe banana.
- Coconut milk: since babies under age one cannot drink cow's milk, I love suggesting coconut milk, as it is a great fat and dairy-free. However, you can always add a nut milk (if baby can tolerate it) or oat milk. Try avoiding any dairy-free milks containing seed oils, as they wreak havoc on your baby's digestive system.
- Oil for frying: I love to use either coconut oil for frying, but you can always use ghee or butter. Even if you have avocado or extra virgin olive oil, they are fine options too (although they may add a bit of flavour to the pancakes).
- Leaving batter to rest: I have read that when using gluten free flour in a recipe, that it is important to leave the batter to rest for the dry ingredients to fully absorb the liquids. However, I have never left the batter to rest before and it has been fine. This may be a better used suggestion for baking goods with gluten free flours.
