Babies love the tactile, finger-food experience of eating mini pancakes, and this recipe is a great way to make use of overripe bananas to add natural sweetness, rather than refined sugar. If you like, you can also add in a few chopped sultanas or raisins to the batter for some extra fruity fibre.

Worried about using cow's milk? Official NHS guidance states it's fine to use milk in small amounts in your weaning recipes, whether your baby is mainly breastfed or mainly formula-fed.
