Not great. If you want to make oven pancakes for your child, fine. I followed recipe exactly and it's very liquidy batter, making very thin pancakes. Why no leavener? (i.e. Eggs, baking powder?) I was looking for something sturdy that can be packed for a snack, i.e. a cookie. Note nearly all reviews tweak recipe substantially.

Perfect recipe for my 14month old who has a sweet tooth. I added a few dashes of cinnamon and a tablespoon of coconut sugar so it isn’t technically sugar free but it’s a better alternative to white sugar and it complements this recipe nicely. My daughter shoved the whole thing in her mouth at once and I had to fish it out haha

Our 9 1/2 -month-old loves these! We had extra baby oatmeal and I wanted to bake with it, so I looked for baby recipes...these are great. They're soft in the middle, and I break them into small enough pieces for the little guy to gum. If he knows they're around, he would rather not finish the food he's supposed to be eating :)

One of my go-to recipes! Not many sugarless recipes out there for infants/toddlers. Instead of butter, I used 1.5 spoons of applesauce; 1.5 spoons of oil for some of the times that I made this; worked out. Though a bit floppy when it was 3 spoons of applesauce. Added chocolate chips or chunks to a third of the batter, to share the cookies with my toddler or for us adults to eat. Tried with 50/50 coconut flour today, as suggested by Kathy O. They last about 2-3 days on the counter. In a mason jar or other well sealed container. Looove this recipe :)
