Healthy Chia Banana Pikelets
Bananas are such a fabulous way to sweeten almost anything naturally.
And these healthy Chia Banana Pikelets are tapping into exactly that natural sweetness.
Here at WMBT HQ, we love healthy treats we can have on hand for those sneaky tiny-human snack attacks. Because they tend to happen when you least expect them.
That’s why we usually make a bigger batch so we never run out. All it takes is doubling the quantities in this recipe and you’re covered not only for today but for tomorrow’s hungry bellies.
So grab a bowl, all your healthy ingredients and off you go.
Looking for a way to encourage self-feeding without the unnecessary stress?
Simply dish up your healthy chia banana pikelets on our silicone Placies. These award-winning placemats are dishwasher, freezer, microwave and oven-safe so you can raise a confident little eater without the panic attacks and constant mess.
