Perfect for Baby’s Snack Time: Wholesome Banana Bread
Utilize ripe bananas sitting at home to create a healthy and delicious snack for your baby. This recipe requires no added sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of bananas, making it a great choice for little ones. Its soft texture is also beneficial for baby’s developing teeth. It’s ideal as a snack from the later stages of baby food.
Ingredients- 140g ripe banana (about 1 large)
- 30g rice flour (fine rice flour recommended)
- 40ml milk (or baby formula)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 slice cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the banana thoroughly. Place the peeled banana into a steamer and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Steaming the banana beforehand will make it much softer and easier to mash.
Step 2
Place one slice of cheese on top of the banana pieces in the steamer. The added richness of the cheese enhances the flavor.
Step 3
Microwave for about 20-30 seconds, just until the cheese starts to melt. Then, add 40ml of milk (or baby formula) and use a fork or a mashing tool to mash the banana until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a consistently smooth texture.
Step 4
Add 30g of rice flour and 2 egg yolks to the mashed banana mixture. Rice flour is easy for babies to digest, and egg yolks provide added nutrition.
Step 5
Using a spatula or a whisk, stir well until all ingredients are combined into a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be slightly thick, similar to cake batter.
Step 6
Pour the prepared batter into steamer cups or baby-friendly silicone molds. Decorate the top with thinly sliced banana pieces for a lovely presentation. Making fun shapes can encourage your baby to eat more!
Step 7
Close the lid of the steamer and microwave for approximately 4 minutes. This will result in a moist banana bread that is slightly firm on the outside and soft on the inside. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. Serve warm as a delightful snack for your baby.
