Main Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp green peas
- 4 Tbsp rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients for these delightful Pea Oatmeal Pancakes. Ensuring you have fresh peas and good quality oats will contribute to the best flavor and texture for your little one.
Step 2
If using dried peas, soak them in water for approximately 1 hour. This step softens the peas, making them easier to chew and digest. For fresh or frozen peas, you can skip this soaking period.
Step 3
After soaking (if applicable), carefully remove the skins from all the peas. Removing the skins ensures a smoother consistency when blended with the oats and makes the pancakes more tender and easier for babies to eat.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and the prepared peas. Use a spoon or spatula to mix them thoroughly, ensuring there are no clumps. The oats will naturally absorb some moisture to help bind the mixture.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it well until the yolk and white are fully combined. Pour the beaten egg into the pea and oat mixture and stir everything together until evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot pan to form small pancakes. Cooking on medium-low heat ensures they cook through without burning. Flip them gently once the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown.
Step 7
Once both sides are beautifully golden brown and cooked through, your savory Pea Oatmeal Pancakes are ready! Serve them warm for the best nutty and wholesome flavor. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for your baby’s enjoyment.
