Banana 'Lady Finger' Pancakes

Breakfast is my favorite meal to serve to my little mister.  He loves eggs, pancakes, and fresh fruit, so he loves breakfast!  I find myself making a lot of banana pancakes, so here's a fun version to mix it up!

1. Cut a banana in half, then in half lengthwise.  Cut each of these four slivers in half so they keep their width and length, but are thinner.  I fed two that were too small to cook to my baby while he waited.

2. Make pancake batter.  You can use the following whole wheat recipe, or a boxed mix!

     1/2 cup whole wheat flour

     1/2 tsp baking soda

     1 lightly beaten egg yolk

     1/2 cups milk*

     1/2 Tbsp oil

{*Substitute breast milk or formula for babies under one year of age.}

This recipe makes just about the right amount to coat one banana.

3. If your baby likes cinnamon, add some to the pancake batter.  Great compliment to the banana!

4. Dip the banana 'fingers' in the batter, then spoon batter over top of them.  They should be coated, but not too thickly!  Remove from bowl with a fork, and place on greased frying pan.

5. Cook like a pancake!

6. I rip these in half to help cool them down and make the size manageable as finger food.

Enjoy!
