Quick Dragon Fruit Pancakes for Babies 9 Months and Older
Dragon fruit is excellent for relieving constipation, and its vibrant color helps spark a child's appetite. Keep the seeds in—they aid bowel movements and will simply pass through the stool, which is perfectly normal. Seeing undigested bits in a child's stool doesn't automatically mean poor digestion; if the child is otherwise well, eats and sleeps well, and follows a normal growth curve, there's no need to obsess over what's in the diaper. (Seed- and hull-containing foods like corn are naturally harder to digest.)
This is likely the simplest pancake version around—no whipping of egg whites, no fermentation. Just mix and cook. A non-stick pan is essential, or the pancake will fail.

Sift in 45g of flour. Sifting makes it easier to mix, but it's fine if you don't have a sifter—you can use regular flour or cake flour.
