Hello…My baby is 11 months old and she has only one teeth which is appearing in the lower jaw. Can she have the pancake? Or can we blend the pancake in blender and may be then feed her?
Baby’s gums can chew the basic foods, so you can give tiny pieces of pancakes without grinding 🙂
Can I use oil instead of butter, for dairy-free option
Yes dear, you can use oil instead of butter 🙂
Nice recipe! Can we use palm sugar instead of applesauce.?
