Why our Banana Oat Pancakes are weaning favourites for so many families!

It's so amazing to see that our Mamamade banana oat pancakes are a mealtime lifesaver for so many modern-day parents. I mean, we've done the maths and so far we've made over 36,600 pancakes and delivered over 7,290 packs to hundreds of families!

We completely get why they are a fan-favourite; they're easy to bring to any occasion in the home or out and about, and they're incredibly versatile. The best part is that our banana oat pancakes are the ultimate baby-led weaning food and perfect for toddlers too. Plus, we're not lying when we say that they're even good enough for adults, because we at Mamamade HQ munch at them all the time! 😅

THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF BANANA OAT PANCAKES

The Mamamade pancakes aren't just tasty, but they're also packed with nutritional benefits! Did you know that bananas are a good source of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and so many more! Don't ever get me started on the benefits of oats; high in soluble fibre and great for reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, keeping your gut healthy, and making you feel full for longer, which is always a plus when kids are involved!

Our highly qualified nutritionists and chefs have gone the extra mile because we want nothing but the best for you and your little ones. So we've made our pancakes organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, allergen-free, and we've even added ingredients like buckwheat flour and chia seeds to the mix to pack in all the goodness.

MAKING MEALTIME EASY FOR PARENTS

We understand that time isn't always on our side as parents; we're already juggling so much in our busy day-to-day lives. And realistically, we know that you might not have time to stand over a frying pan, flipping pancakes! This is why these healthy banana oat pancakes are perfect for your babies, toddlers, or even for yourself - we have created a recipe that is convenient for you and your family and can be served in various ways to suit all ages and mealtimes. All you have to do is put them in the freezer and take them out when you need them. You can either let them naturally defrost a few hours or cook them in the oven or microwave from frozen - yeah, it's that easy!

HOW TO SERVE BANANA OAT PANCAKES...

When it comes to portion sizes, you can go as big or as little as you want - you get five pancakes in each Mamamade pancake pack, so for a full meal, we recommend all five, while 1-3 are perfect for a snack!

You can bulk up our pancakes with your kid's favourite toppings for a delicious breakfast, brunch, snack, or dessert - think fresh fruit and honey (if your child is over 12 months) for a sweet treat, or you can even team it with something savoury for dinner. Banana oat pancakes topped with greens? Why not!

My top tip for fine motor skill development with our banana oat pancakes would be to cut the pancakes up in chunky strips to help your baby get the hang of their weaning skills. You can read more of our weaning tips on the blog here. 

MADE BY US, LOVED BY YOU

If you don't want to take my word for it, here are some reviews that we've had back from parents!

• "BREAKFAST FOR CHAMPIONS. I snoozed a bit too long in the morning and poor Thea was hungry so I needed to whip up something quick and Mamamade came to the rescue. Super easy, I just popped it in the microwave and we were good to go!” @thearyleigh on Instagram

• "We've just started getting these meals for our 15mo as we were struggling with busy jobs and keeping on top of prepping healthy options for her 3x a day. It's been such a relief to find healthy veggie meals free of preservatives and allergens. I wish I'd known about this when we were struggling with managing her multiple allergies (which she thankfully seems to have mostly overcome now). Some of the meals tasted a bit bland to us, but our often fussy daughter has enjoyed most things. The finger food options last us a few meals/snacks and the meals often give us 2 portions, especially when we give them alongside other bits which we tend to do." - Rhi, UK - Trustpilot

• "With the fussiest eater known to man, the Mamamade food has been a god send to have in the freezer. My little boy really loved the finger foods which was such a relief for me I would definitely recommend them." - Charlie Barker, UK - Trustpilot

• "These ready made meals for toddlers are super great. My boys loved them especially the lentil shepherds pie and the dessert of course. They are super easy to heat up and service straight from the container. Highly recommend!!" - Helena Šuša, UK - Trustpilot
