Ingredients to Make the Best Peanut Butter Banana Flapjacks
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe:
- Bananas: make sure you use ripe bananas with a few brown spots for sweetness.
- Old fashioned oats: these will give some structure to the flapjacks and additional nutrition.
- Raisings: to add texture and sweetness
- Peanut butter: will bind everything together and add healthy fats. Make sure that you choose one that is 100% peanuts, no sugar, salt, or oils added.
- Coconut oil: melted.
- Desiccated coconut: make sure you use unsweetened coconut.
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C)
- Grease or add parchment paper to a small baking tray.
- Mash the bananas and mix with the remaining ingredients.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray and press it with a spoon.
- Bake for 20 minutes until edges start to golden.
- Let it cool and cut into squares or fingers.
Storage Instructions
You can store these flapjacks in the fridge for up to 2 days or place them into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
To defrost, place them in the fridge overnight or microwave until soft. I suggest warming up in 10s increments as the time will vary depending on your microwave power.
In theory you can, however, I do recommend waiting on offering snack recipes until a couple of months after starting introduction to solids. It is important to offer fruits, vegetables in their simplest forms (raw, steamed, sauteed, roasted), with and without seasoning (most natural and dry spices are allowed from 6+ months – no salt added). This approach will allow the babies to get to know the new flavors and textures before adding more elaborate recipes to the menu.
