This time of year when pears are at their best, I try to use them in meals multiple times a week. Pears are not only scrumptious, but they are incredibly nutritious. This recipe I made for my 17-month-old, but they are so yummy that I eat about half of the batch myself! They are naturally sweet, soft and fluffy. This is a great recipe to whip up in the morning for breakfast or make to pack on the go! I hope you love these as much as Willow and I do.

For Littles
These pancakes are so fun to serve to your little ones! Not only are they easy to eat, but they include vitamins like vitamin C, fiber and folate. This means they help our littles absorb iron and help support their digestive systems and brains. It also helps that these pancakes are incredibly delicious. You can serve these 7 months +!
Here is a picture of my 17-month-old chowing down on them!
How To
Combine the wet ingredients – mash the pear into chunks with a pastry cutter or fork.
Then add the dry ingredients and mix.

minutesIngredients
1/2 a pear
1 egg
2 tablespoons yogurt
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While the butter is melting, making the pancake batter.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the pear, egg, yogurt and maple syrup. Mash the pear first with a fork or biscuit cutter until the pear is now in little chunks. Once the pear is in chunks, start mixing in the rest of the ingredients with a fork or whisk until all combined.
- Add the flour and cardamom and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Spoon the batter onto the skillet, making 10 mini pancakes. Let cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is firm and lightly browned. Then flip the pancakes over and repeat on the other sides.
- Take the pancakes off the heat and let cool for a minute.
- Serve warm! I love to serve these with yogurt, fruit or peanut butter. You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or you can freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy!:)
