Christmas Tree Pancakes
Festive holiday baby led weaning recipe jam packed with so many great ingredients! Now that’s my kind of recipe! You can easily make a batch of these at once and freeze for later.
When you cut out the shapes, don’t throw away the scrapes! I save them in a separate glass container and give as a snack!
To freeze, store in air tight freezer-safe container or bag in freezer for up to 3 months. To store for the week, keep in glass container in fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop them in the toaster oven or gently heat over stove top with some butter!
Feel free to top with whatever “tree decorations” you’d like! I have loved using blueberries, strawberries and bananas, and also yogurt for the “snow”. You can find shape cutters on amazon – there are lots of different kinds!
