Italian Inspired Baby Breakfast (12M+)
Cheesy tomato pancakes, soft fruit

⸻

Ingredients (with measurements):

Cheesy tomato pancakes:
• 1 egg
• 40g oat flour
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp tomato passata
• 20g cheddar cheese (grated)
• pinch oregano
• pinch garlic powder

Side:
• soft fruit (e.g. banana slices, strawberries)

⸻

How I make it:
1. In a bowl, whisk egg, milk and passata until smooth.
2. Add oat flour, cheese and seasoning, mix into a soft batter.
3. Cook on low–medium heat until set and soft in the centre.
4. Flip carefully and cook the other side.
5. Serve with soft fruit on the side.

⸻

Why this works:

• Supports babies moving into more textured, real meals
• Soft and easy to hold for self-feeding
• Familiar flavours = better acceptance
• Simple, repeatable and realistic

⸻

Storage:

• Pancakes: fridge up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month
• Reheat: pan or microwave until soft
• Fruit: best served fresh

⸻

Parent tip 🤍

Keep the heat low so the pancakes stay soft in the middle and don’t dry out.
