Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour batter onto a warm, greased skillet. I did about 1 Tablespoon of batter for each pancake to keep them small.
Cook until the batter starts to form little bubbles and you can easily get under the pancake with a spatula (about 2 minutes). Flip pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until pancake is cooked through.
Serve whole or break into pieces for tiny hands. You can serve these plain, with a little nut butter or yogurt spread on top or with a fruit puree to dip the pancakes in.
Cool the pancakes completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.

Banana: Bananas can vary in sizes, so I would recommend weighing your banana in grams if you have a scale. If you have a large banana it will add more moisture to the batter making it too runny and difficult to fully cook in the middle. You also want to make sure your banana is ripe, but not overly ripe as that will also add extra moisture to your batter. If you are using a super ripe/mushy or extra large banana, you might want to start with only 1-2 Tablespoons of milk and add more as needed.
