If you’re anything like me, when peach season hits, you want to have peach-flavored everything. I love peach smoothies, peach cobbler, peaches atop oatmeal and yogurt, and now… peach pancakes!

Peaches are a wonderous little fruit – fragrant, juicy, and just the right amount of sweetness. And adding them to fluffy pancakes makes for the yummiest, made-in-one-bowl breakfast that your kids will absolutely love.

These healthy peach pancakes are naturally sweetened and soft, which makes them perfect for baby-led weaning, as well as older kids. And they freeze beautifully, meaning you can make a double batch and enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner all week long.

Let’s Get Flipping

Peach Tip: For ripe peaches, choose ones that have a slight give to them, with a vibrant yellow or orange color, and a sweet aroma. If you don’t have fresh peaches on hand, you can use thawed frozen peaches. I like to thaw mine in the microwave between a few sheets of paper towels to help absorb any excess moisture.
