This is exactly the kind of all-purpose recipe we love to keep on hand: a few pantry ingredients, leftover carrot puree, and you get wonderfully tender little pancakes that are <strong>salt-free and sugar-free<\/strong>, perfect for baby\u2019s snack or dinner.<\/p>\n<p>The carrot puree gives the pancakes a pretty orange color and a very soft texture. The yogurt keeps the batter moist, and the baking soda helps the pancakes puff up slightly. This is a <strong>simple<\/strong> recipe that can generally be offered to a baby <strong>from around 8 months<\/strong>, once they are already comfortable with very soft pieces and finger foods.<\/p>\n<p>As always, adapt this recipe to your baby\u2019s development and your pediatrician\u2019s advice!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>(Makes about 8 to 10 mini pancakes)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1\/2 cup smooth carrot puree (120 g)<\/strong>, ideally homemade and salt-free<\/li>\n<li><strong>1 plain yogurt<\/strong> (about 1\/2 cup \/ 125 g)<\/li>\n<li><strong>1 egg<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1 tablespoon neutral oil<\/strong> (sunflower, canola, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>3\/4 cup all-purpose flour (100 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Optional:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a small <strong>pinch of cinnamon<\/strong> for snack time, or <strong>cumin<\/strong> \/ <strong>curry<\/strong> for dinner (to add a light flavor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make carrot pancakes for baby<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare the carrot puree<\/h3>\n<p>Start by making sure you have a <strong>very smooth carrot puree<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re starting with fresh carrots at home: peel them, cut them into small pieces, steam them or cook them in a little water until they are very soft, then blend finely with a little cooking water. Let the puree cool slightly before adding it to the batter.

As always, adapt according to your baby\u2019s development and your pediatrician\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1767609469735\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How many pancakes should I give baby at one meal?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>It depends on the size of the pancakes and baby\u2019s appetite. For mini pancakes (about 1 tablespoon of batter each), you can use these general guidelines:<br \/>\naround 8 months: about 1 to 2 small pancakes, alongside vegetables, some protein at lunch, and a little starch.<br \/>\nafter 10\/12 months: 2 to 3 mini pancakes.<br \/>\nThese are only guidelines: let baby eat according to their appetite and adjust the amounts with your pediatrician\u2019s help if needed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1767614884368\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I serve these carrot pancakes as a snack?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Yes, these pancakes can also be offered as a snack (as I mention in the recipe, you can add a little cinnamon to the batter), for example with a little plain yogurt or a no-added-sugar fruit puree. Keep the snack balanced and avoid serving these pancakes every day if baby tends to lose interest in fruit or milk!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1767615010609\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can this recipe be adapted if baby does not have cow\u2019s milk?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>If your baby does not consume cow\u2019s milk (intolerance, allergy, or another reason), you can replace the plain yogurt with a plant-based yogurt (for example soy yogurt fortified with calcium, according to your pediatrician\u2019s advice). The texture will stay soft, but the flavor may change slightly. Keep the same quantities and check the plant-based yogurt\u2019s ingredients carefully to avoid overly sweetened yogurts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we\u2019re turning a simple carrot puree into super soft little pancakes for baby.
