Baby Pancake Recipe Using Rice Cereal & Fruit Topping! (2024)

Whether your baby is just starting to explore finger foods or they’ve outgrown being fed rice cereal and baby food and have asserted their newfound independence, this baby pancake recipe is just perfect for them! It’s a great way to use up leftover baby rice cereal and baby food if your baby is beyond that stage now. It is also a great way to incorporate much needed food groups into a baby’s diet when they insist on self feeding.

Baby Finger Foods

Often when babiesbegin feeding themselves, and refusing to be fed by you, they lack all of the nutrients they need. Thisbaby pancake recipewill allow them to still pick up pieces and feed themselves while still getting the necessary nutrients in their diet! It’s the perfect finger food for babies!

Baby Pancake Recipe

For this baby pancake recipe you’ll need Beech-Nut Oatmeal baby cereal, Beech-Nut Rice baby cereal and various Beech-Nut baby foods depending on your baby’s favorite flavors. You can use whatever flavors you want in this recipe!

I specifically recommend using Beech-Nut baby food products because they are transparent in their labeling, offer organic options and they are working with the Non-GMO project to get all of their foods verified (you’ll see the Non-GMO project label on their jars!). Often as parents we wonder what goes into our baby’s food and rightfully so. Beech-Nut recognizes this and has worked hard to be transparent in their labeling. They now offer a specific breakdown of all of their recipes right on their website so you can see the exact percentage of what goes into each flavor of baby food.

This new initiative on Beech-Nut’s behalf is particularly important after recent revelations that other popular baby food companies were touting the inclusion of superfood ingredients like quinoa and kale, but were including them in sparse amounts and using cheap apple puree as the main ingredient. Now you can see how much of those ingredients are actually included in any of Beech-Nut’s baby food so you know what you are buying.

To make thisbaby pancake recipe you will mix together white or wheat flour, rice cereal, oatmeal baby cereal, formula/breastmilk/milk, 1 jar of your favorite Beech-Nut baby food, unsalted butter, egg yolks and juice until it reaches a pancake batter consistency. If it comes out too thick you can thin it with milk.

Then cook them on a griddle. I make them in mini sizes so they are easy for my son to pick up. They are awesome toddler finger food or baby finger food. *Try testing one pancake on your griddle first so you can make sure you have the right temperature and consistency for your batter.

Then serve the baby pancakes along with Beech-Nut baby food as the topping. Skip the sugary maple syrup (and sticky mess!) and let baby dip their pancakes in the purees instead. It’s yummy and it helps them get their daily fruit servings! Some of our favorites include the apple & pumpkin, just pear & black cherry and I used the justapple & strawberry in the batter. To compliment that I used an apple raspberry juice so the pancakes had a slight berry flavor. You can also use apple juice for a more neutral flavor or omit the juice and just use milk.
