Nothing beats waking up to the smell of freshly made pancakes – and it’s even better when those pancakes are made with sweet, ripe peaches! These fluffy Peach Pancakes will help you get breakfast on the table in less than 15 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for babies, toddlers, kids and even adults!
Healthy Peach Pancakes
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.

Ingredients
Make sure to read the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions!
- Flour: All-purpose, white whole wheat, or a one-for-one gluten-free flour will all work here.
- Peaches: fresh peaches work best, but you can also sub frozen (and thawed) peaches in a pinch.
- Maple Syrup: This recipe uses just a little bit to get the perfect combo of savory and sweet cooked right into the pancakes. This can be omitted for babies under 1.
- Milk: You can use any type of milk you prefer – dairy, almond, oat, etc.
- Egg: One large egg is needed to bind everything together.
- Butter: Feel free to substitute mild olive oil, coconut, or vegetable.
- Baking Powder: Helps to make the pancakes perfectly soft and fluffy.
- Spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and salt: These flavors really up the taste factor.
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.
