Butternut Squash and Sweetcorn Pancakes – a savoury cheesy pancake recipe with the natural sweetness of butternut squash.
Savoury Pancakes anyone?
My little one LOVED these, they would also be great with cream cheese or hummus etc spread over the top or enjoy them just as they are.
Make up a batch of these and pop a few in the freezer, so that you have some on hand for your little grazer for a quick snack or meal.
To warm up I just heat on a pan on a low heat and they are ready in minutes.

Can these be frozen? And reheated in a toaster perhaps?
I make a batch and freeze before cooking – in tupperware, each with one or two tbsp of the batter in. Then I cook fresh. I’d have thought they would freeze well once cooked, but would be nicer cooked after freezing.
What is the milk for please??
I love this idea, but I tweaked your recipe a little bit based on what I needed to use up. I used 1 (4 ounce) container of butternut squash baby food, 3/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon self-rising flour, colby-jack cheese instead of Parmesan, and everything else I kept the same. The batter was a little thin, but I think that was because I used baby food, so I would definitely start with 1/4 cup of milk and add more if needed. It does not say in the recipe what to do with the milk, but I just assumed that it it went with the other wet ingredients (eggs and squash) as in most pancake recipes. I got 18 small pancakes total, and my one-year-old enjoyed them spread with cream cheese. I am going to freeze extras as I do with any leftover pancakes. Thank you for sharing!
these are delicious but I tweaked slightly. I added some spring onion and used roasted butternut squash which added a bit more flavor. My 11 month old loves them
sounds yummy, you could really mix these up with all kinds of different herbs and seasonings as little one gets older.
