Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup carrot grated
  • 1/2 cup apple grated
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, combine grated carrot, grated apple, flour, egg, milk, and cinnamon. Stir gently until a thick batter forms—don’t worry, that texture is perfect for fluffy pancakes!
  • Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop small amounts of batter into the pan to form toddler-sized pancakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy: Let the pancakes cool slightly before serving. You can slice them into strips for baby-led weaning or top them with yogurt, a smear of nut butter (for ages 1+), or mashed fruit.

Notes

Storage tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individually and reheat in the toaster or microwave.
Baby-friendly tips: For younger babies, skip any sweet toppings and serve the pancakes in thin strips or mash into small bites.
Allergy-friendly swaps: Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) if egg-free. For dairy-free, sub with oat or almond milk. Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if needed.
Nutrition boosters: Add 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.
Make-ahead hack: Double the batch and freeze half for easy weekday breakfasts or lunchbox additions.
