Little sweet corn pancakes with carrot

Fresh sweet corn grated off the cob turns into a creamy batter with no whole kernels, and with egg and oats it makes a soft little pancake your baby can pick up alone. Cut into strips, it is a great snack for the finger food stage, with no sugar and no white flour.

Makes 6 small pancakes Freezer-friendly Contains: egg

Ingredients

  • 1 ear of fresh sweet corn
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated carrot
  • a drizzle of olive oil

How to make

  1. 1Remove the husk and silk from the ear and grate the kernels on the large holes of a box grater, over a bowl. Scrape the cob with a knife to get the cream that is left.
  2. 2Add the egg, the oats and the carrot and mix well with a fork.
  3. 3Grease a non-stick skillet with the olive oil and set it over low heat.
  4. 4Drop in spoonfuls of batter, spread them thin and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden and set inside.
  5. 5Let them cool down and cut them into finger-length strips.

Tips

  • Texture (9 to 11 months): soft inside, no hard crust. Make sure the egg is fully cooked.
  • Grated corn, not kernels: whole kernels can be a choking risk. Skip canned corn, it has salt.
  • Storage: 2 days in the fridge or 30 days in the freezer, separated with parchment paper.
