These Banana Bites are hands-down one of our family’s favorites for a few simple reasons: they’re healthy, inexpensive and easy to make (which equals a happy mommy and daddy), and sweet and delicious (which equals happy baby girl and big brother)!

Make It:

1. Cut the bananas into 1/4 inch slices (I like to make slices on a diagonal bias so they’re a little bit longer than circles).

2. One at a time, dip the banana slices into the batter, coating all over, shaking off the excess batter into the bowl and place on a buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden.

4. Serve with the accompaniment of your choice!

Clean It:

Make your own batter instead of using a packaged mix to reduce exposure to synthetic preservatives and additives typically added to processed foods.

Green It:

Cut down on food miles by experimenting with locally grown fruit like organic apples.

Make It Fun:

Older kids can help slice the banana and dip them, too!

these were great for my 23 month old daughter! I used the vegan pumpkin pancake batter, as she has an egg allergy. The only issue I had was a user error.. the batter was a bit too thick, I should have thinned out a bit. I cut the banana into eight slices, and she ate all them! I used the rest of the batter to make pancakes to freeze for those on the go breakfasts. thanks for a great fun recipe!
