the chosen spice if you would like to add one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThen add this dry mixture to the bowl little by little, mixing gently with a whisk or spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should get a thick but still soft batter. It should be spoonable into the pan without spreading out completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the batter is too runny, add a small spoonful of flour.
If it is too thick, add a small spoonful of yogurt or a little water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the batter rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let the batter rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This short resting time allows the flour to hydrate properly and helps the pancakes turn out softer when cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cooking the Sweet Potato Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Heat a small skillet or cr\u00eape pan over low to medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can very lightly oil the pan, then add small spoonfuls of batter to form mini pancakes. One tablespoon of batter per pancake is more than enough to make a size suited to baby\u2019s little hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let them cook for a few minutes, until the edges begin to set and the top is no longer completely liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula, then cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pancakes should be fully cooked through while staying very soft. They should mash easily between your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before offering them to baby, let them cool until just warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For older babies, you can serve them with a little plain yogurt, fruit compote, or even a touch of almond butter if it has already been introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy your meal, baby! 🙂<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From What Age Can You Offer These Sweet Potato Pancakes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These sweet potato pancakes can generally be offered from around 8 months<\/strong>, when baby:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- is starting to be comfortable with thicker textures,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- can manage very soft pieces,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- can easily grab finger foods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As always, age is only a guide. The most important thing is to observe your baby, adapt the size of the pieces, and ask your pediatrician for advice if you have any doubt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For younger babies or babies who are just starting with pieces, you can cut the pancakes into small, very soft strips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn the refrigerator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These sweet potato pancakes keep for about 24 hours in the refrigerator<\/strong>, in an airtight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo offer them to baby, you can let them come back to room temperature or warm them for a few seconds in the microwave or toaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always check the temperature before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the freezer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These pancakes freeze very well. Ideally, freeze them flat first on a plate or tray, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container once they are fully frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They keep for about 1 month in the freezer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo serve, let them thaw in the refrigerator, then warm them gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what age can you offer these sweet potato pancakes?<\/h3>\n\n
You can generally offer these sweet potato pancakes from around 8 months, once baby is already comfortable with very soft pieces and finger foods. Age is only a guide: always adapt to your baby, their development, and your pediatrician\u2019s advice!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can you make these pancakes with leftover sweet potato pur\u00e9e?<\/h3>\n\n
Yes, it\u2019s actually a very good idea! Just use a very smooth sweet potato pur\u00e9e, with no salt, and not too runny. If the batter seems too loose after adding the pur\u00e9e, you can add a small spoonful of flour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
How many pancakes should you give baby?<\/h3>\n\n
It depends on baby\u2019s age, appetite, and the size of the pancakes. For mini pancakes, you can offer 1 to 2 small pancakes around 8 months, then 2 to 3 pancakes for older babies. These are only guidelines: let baby eat according to their appetite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can you offer these pancakes as a snack?<\/h3>\n\n
Yes, these sweet potato pancakes work very well as a snack, especially with a small pinch of cinnamon in the batter. You can serve them with fruit compote or a little plain yogurt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can you offer them for dinner?<\/h3>\n\n
Yes, in that case you can serve them with a pur\u00e9e, a soup, or add a little grated cheese to the batter for a more savory version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can you freeze sweet potato pancakes?<\/h3>\n\n
Yes, these pancakes freeze very well. Freeze them flat first, then gather them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They keep for about 1 month in the freezer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
