WEANING: Tropical coconut pancakes with a mango purèe

 

Happy Pancake Day!! 

In honour of Pancake Day this week's weaning recipe is a {no added sugar} tropical twist on classic american pancakes. It's the perfect way for your little one to explore different textures and flavours, just try not to eat them all yourself! If you do happen to have any pancakes left over just place them into a freezer bag and pop in the freezer. You can then defrost them overnight or in the microwave for a quick breakfast option. Every day can be pancake day now!

PANCAKE DAY: Abra-Ca-Debora

I can't quite believe a) we're already in March and b) it's once again pancake day and I haven't really had pancakes at all since the last pancake day. I make a promise to myself every year - that I'll have pancakes more often as I love them so much. But every year, the years passes me by and I don't have any pancakes. I think its the faff of making them, the washing up and the oil that has managed to spit all over EVERY kitchen surface! They really are quite a lot of hassle for essentially a dessert. Abra-Ca-Debora have solved these issued with ready made pancake products that are not only really convenient but taste sooo good too!

The Abra-Ca-Debora 6 Sweet Dutch Pancakes* (they're currently half price at Tesco for £1) are just like that perfect pancake you get - you know the one after you've attempted about 5 times and you're getting slightly tired of eating pancakes at the speed of light before the next one is ready?! But instead of having to trial and error with a lot of pancake batter, you just pop these in the microwave for 30 seconds and you have a perfect sweet pancake that can be topped with any combination of deliciously decadent ingredients. On the inside of the sleeve you are faced with some tasty pancake topping suggestions - peanut butter and jam - why did I not think of having them on a pancake?! These pancakes are ideal for having throughout the year, so much easier!

The Abra-Ca-Debora Diddy Sweet Dutch Pancakes* (£1.49 from Waitrose) made me instantly think of chocolate fondue's, they are the perfect 'dunkable' size! These bitesize pancakes are light, fluffy and surprisingly filling. They make a lovely accompaniment to chocolate fondue or as a snack. I have to admit I did almost eat a whole pack on the way to meet our wedding caterers, they're just so moreish!

How are celebrating Pancake Day - Ready-made pancakes or Home-made?
