Blueberry and Banana Pancakes
Suitable from 6+ months with Baby Led Weaning (BLW), perfect for babies, toddlers and big kids
These pancakes are so delicious and fluffy - they’re perfect for weaning and the whole family! I made these pancakes for my 3 year old son and 7 month old daughter and the pair of them loved them.
I absolutely love my pancake pan, it’s an absolute weaning essential in my book! I picked mine up on Amazon and it’s one of the things I wish I bought years ago! You can pick yours up here.
If baby is over the age of 1 you can serve them with honey (no honey for babies under the age of 1), but they’re delicious by themselves or served with fresh fruit and yoghurt.
These blueberry and banana pancakes are also great for batch cooking, I always keep a few in the fridge and then freeze the rest for a delicious baby and toddler breakfast on demand. They’re great for batch cooking when weaning!
You can of course make these pancakes with almost any fruit of your choice, For a gluten free alternative check out these apple and banana oat pancakes.
Feel free to use any milk of your choice to make the pancakes, including breast or formula milk which is great if you’ve just started weaning.
Blueberries are classed as a choking hazard for weaning babies and young children due to their shape so make sure you squash them with a fork first before stirring them into the mixture.
If you do try these blueberry and banana pancakes then please let me know how you get on - they’re a firm favourite in our house!

Considering following personal interests as a route into learning, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. A familiar interest can provide the motivation to practise a skill that initially feels difficult. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about interest based learning. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can a hobby become a useful learning project without losing its enjoyment?
My first thought about studying economics through familiar decisions is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. An everyday choice can introduce a concept that otherwise feels detached from ordinary life. Seen this way, economics learning examples becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. How would you choose an example that shows a trade-off clearly?
When it comes to understanding the basics of pneumatic systems, I would rather understand one useful detail properly than rush through a long list of ideas. Following the path of compressed air can make the parts of a system easier to understand. That connection helps me see why pneumatic systems basics can be worth a closer look. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. Which diagrams would help a beginner connect components with their function?
I can see why supporting children in the third year of school would invite discussion, since different people will bring different experiences to the same question. An activity that combines reading and explanation can reveal several kinds of understanding at once. It makes me curious about the practical side of third grade learning activities. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. What helps a child become more comfortable explaining an answer in their own words?
A conversation about helping primary pupils settle into school routines seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. A consistent routine can free children's attention for the activity itself. This is why I would approach Swiebodzice primary education with a specific question rather than a fixed expectation. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. Which parts of a school day benefit most from a clear and familiar sequence?
