Blueberry pancake recipe with Base Kids

At Base Kids, we know that feeding kids can feel like a daily challenge. Finding meals that are nutritious and accepted can be exhausting. That’s why we love simple, familiar foods with a nutrition boost, like these blueberry pancakes for kids.

Pancakes are predictable, comforting and easy to adapt, making them a great option for supporting positive food experiences while still meeting growing bodies’ nutritional needs.

For many kids, selective eating is linked to sensory sensitivities or unpredictability. Pancakes work because they are:

• Familiar and visually consistent

• Soft in texture

• Mild in flavour

• Easy to adapt to your child’s preferences

Adding blueberries and banana allows exposure to fruit in a low-pressure way, supporting acceptance over time

Tips for supporting selective (fussy) eaters

• Let kids help add the fruit to the pancakes

• Serve fruit on the side if mixed textures feel tricky

• Keep portions small to reduce overwhelm

• Pair with a familiar “safe” food if needed

Remember, repeated exposure without pressure is key.
