Healthy Toddler Pumpkin Pancakes: Easy Blender Recipe
If you are looking for a mess-free, nutrient-dense breakfast that your toddler will actually devour, these blender pumpkin pancakes are about to be your new morning best friend.
Ingredients
- 1 c rolled oats
- 1/2 c full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 c pumpkin puree unsweetened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of ginger and nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4-1 cup milk of choice add slowly to reach desired consistency ( you may need more or less)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Add the liquid ingredients (milk, egg, pumpkin, yogurt, vanilla) to your blender first, then top with the oats, baking powder, salt, and spices. This prevents the dry ingredients from getting stuck at the bottom.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30–60 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and the oats have turned into a fine flour consistency.
- The 2-Minute Rest: Let the batter sit in the blender for 2 minutes. This is the secret step! It allows the oats to hydrate and the baking powder to activate, ensuring your pancakes are fluffy rather than flat.
- Heat the Surface: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a tiny bit of butter or coconut oil.
- Pour and Cook: Pour small circles of batter onto the skillet. Small pancakes are much easier for toddlers to handle and easier for you to flip!
- The Flip: Cook for about 2–3 minutes. Once you see small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set/matte, flip carefully.
- Finish and Cool: Cook for another 1–2 minutes on the second side. Transfer to a wire rack or plate to cool slightly before serving to your little one.
