These gluten-free spinach banana pancakes are absolutely delicious, packed in nutrient dense ingredients, and SO easy to make. They're perfect for baby led weaning, they're toddler-friendly and they come together in under 30 minutes. They're make-ahead, meal prep and freezer friendly too!
These pancakes are great year round, but they can be particularly fun for Christmas or St. Patrick's Day! Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to make these into fun little tree shapes during Christmas or a Clover shaped cookie cutter to make these into a Shamrock for St. Patrick's Day!
