Baby Cakes

I made this recipe this morning:

Finger Foods for Baby - Veggie Cakes

From Jannah in the United States

1 cup (4 oz) flour
1 egg yolk
3 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp oil
3/4 cup (6 fl oz) milk (or formula)
2 jars of your choice of veggie baby food (note from editor - you could substitute an equivalent amount of homemade veggie puree here)

Just mix all the ingredients together and then pour onto a hot griddle (medium), turning them when ready just like you would a regular pancake!

Owen LOVED them. I used sweet potato and an apple/banana blend, some pumpkin puree that I had in the fridge (maybe a 1/4 cup), a bunch of cinnamon, some nutmeg and some cloves. I also used whole wheat flour and a whole egg since I didn't want to divide it and Owen hasn't had a reaction to egg whites. The mistake I made was using coconut oil. My brain didn't put together that coconut oil gets hard at a pretty low temp (like 70 some degrees) and I was pouring cold milk into this mix. I ended up with hard chunks of oil that I tried to break up into smaller pieces. It ended up okay but I'll do it differently next time. I wanted to have something in the freezer to give him for breakfast or snacks that he can feed himself when we're in a hurry (i.e. Sunday mornings). It made quite a few so I'm hoping that Owen continues to like them. He's been a little picky lately. I think he ended up eating something like 3-4 pancakes. Not sure if they were that good or he was that hungry. He was up for a while last night then woke up at 6:40 this morning which was too early for a Saturday so I nursed him and put him back down hoping he would play for a little bit then get up. Well, he decided to take his morning nap then and not wake up until 11:30. 

And just because he's so dang cute here's a picture of what he likes to get into now...

Dad said that Saturday's are for playing video games.

(He didn't get there all on his own. He'll walk while holding my hands and stand if he has something to lean on.)
