What an effortless weekend breakfast for all my kiddos! These pancakes were a breeze to whip up, and everyone absolutely loved them!

I had one of those "this banana is way too ripe for anything but banana bread" moments and a surplus of baby yogurt. So, I turned to ChatGPT for a baby-friendly pancake idea:

I have 1 very ripe banana, 4 oz lightly sweetened whole milk strawberry baby yogurt. Help me come up with a recipe to make baby friendly pancakes. It can be sweet. Going to make for breakfast for my kids. I have older kids too so need to be sweet enough but not too much

And here it is:
