You thought your husband was a picky eater. But then, one day, you find yourself cooking for a toddler – and that’s when the real struggle begins. You worry about the amount of nutrients in each dish you serve, and pleasing those sometimes-volatile, two-year-old taste buds. But you’re also concerned about how quickly and easily you can get a meal together. After all, who has time to stand over the stove when there’s a diaper-clad kiddo on the loose? Enter baked toddler pancakes. You won’t have to watch and wait for these flapjacks bubble; just mix everything together, bake and voila! Out of the oven comes a healthy, kid-approved and time-friendly breakfast.
