Tips

Double the recipe and store any leftover batter in an airtight tub in the fridge to use the next day.

These no-egg banana pancakes are a perfect finger food for baby-led weaning (from 6 months, if you're at the stage where you're giving them sweet foods), but they're tasty enough to serve to the rest of the family, too!

Dairy-free and suitable for vegans, they make an ideal plant-based breakfast.

To really complement the banana in this recipe, try frying your pancakes in coconut oil.

Keep an eye on the pancakes as they cook, as egg-free and dairy-free pancakes can take a different amount of time to cook than the ones you might be used to.

If you have the time, let the batter sit after mixing it. Anything from 5-30 minutes can help get a thicker batter and gives the flavours time to meld properly.

Variations

If you fancy plain banana pancakes , just leave out the sultanas.

Or swap the sultanas for blueberries, strawberry chunks or your favourite fruit (if you want to get really decadent, throw in a few chocolate chips).

Delicious served with cream, ice cream and/or fresh fruit - or just gobble them up as they are!

To make the pancakes gluten-free too, you can use an alternative flour such as oat or almond flour.

For fluffier pancakes, try adding a pinch of baking powder.

    These are so quick and easy and so delicious. I like to make them thin and crispy around the edges. I have made these for breakfast so many times in the last couple weeks since finding the recipe. This is a new go to!

    I wanted to make lo a treat, so I swapped the raisins for chocolate chips: instant hit!

    My two-year-old loves these. I use coconut milk from a carton and cook them with a tiny bit of coconut oil - goes really well with the banana.
