Ingredients

1 ½ cup oat flour gluten free if needed
¼ cup ground flaxmeal
2 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 ½ cup high fat cottage cheese ideally low sodium
4 tsp vanilla
4 eggs beaten
2 large mashed very ripe bananas
1 cup berries halved if large
2 tbsp hemp hearts
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F and spray a 19”x 12” baking sheet with cooking spray.
To a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, flax and salt.
To a food processor, puree the cottage cheese until very smooth. Add that to the dry ingredients, along with the vanilla, eggs, and banana.
Spread into the prepared baking sheet and top with berries and hemp hearts.
Bake at 425 for 12 minutes, turning the pan around half way through the cooking period to ensure it cooks evenly.
Cut into strips so it's easy for baby to pick up and eat.

Notes

The sky is the limit so add in whatever fruit or flavours your kids like. If you want to throw in some extra baking spices (ginger, nutmeg, star anise etc.) - go for it! Or you can add some cooked apple or pear for a nice fall option. You can also go tropical and throw in mango, pineapple and coconut!
Everyone has different favourites? You can make half of the the pancakes a different flavour or even in quarters. Now you can have multiple flavours in a single sheet pan.
The best part about these pancakes is that you don't have to flip them like on the stovetop! Do not skip the sheet pan with cooking spray or it'll stick to the pan and you won't be able to flip them even if you wanted to! They should be able to slide right out of your sheet pan.
