This homemade hummus for babies and toddlers is the perfect easy and inexpensive recipe for a healthy meal or snack.  Great for baby-led weaning as well!

Homemade Hummus for Baby

beans

tahini

water

garlic powder

tsp cumin

lemon, juiced

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until nice and smooth. I usually do half the lemon first, taste test, then decide if I&#x27;ll add the juice of the second half.  My son likes it pretty lemony though, so I usually end up adding the whole thing!

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine everything together. Don&#x27;t overmix.

Broccoli & Cheese Frittata Fingers

tbsp oil

courgette / zucchini

/ 1 cup chopped broccoli

cheddar cheese

flour

herbs

Preheat to oven 180c / 350f. Grease and line a baking dish with parchment paper. I used a 8in / 20cm square dish.

In a bowl mix the eggs, cheese, flour and herbs together. Add the cooked vegetables and mix until well combined.

Pour this mixture into the lined dish and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to cool before cutting into fingers or squares.

We love these! I added more cheese as my boy is a cheese eating monster, and most of the time a vegetable refusenik, but he scoffs these down. 
Thank you!

Would this recipe be OK to give to my 8 month old? I'm in need of some new exciting foods for him! Thank you.

Here's an odd comment ... I think these look yummy for adults! Easy for a brunch pot luck. We also cook breakfast for my sons' teachers during National Education Week. I can see the teachers liking these. I would experiment with making them fit into a 9X13 casserole so I'd get more pieces -- or just make two 8X8 square batches. Maybe fold some bacon into one and leave the other one just veggies. I see much potential.

Made this for the fam tonight, success! Very easy, calls for ingredients that are most likely readily on-hand (and you could easily substitute various veggies according to what you already have), healthy and actually quite fast to make. Great for a quick but nutritious weeknight meal. Two picky eaters loved it. The third one is going through a phase where he won't try anything at dinner time, but we can heat up the leftovers tomorrow and try it out at lunch time for him. I highly recommend it and will make this again!

Dalin A few days before Kaitlyn turned 6 months old, we got started on our solids journey. Kaitlyn’s first food was roasted sweet potato sticks (just like Hailey’s) and, like most baby-led adventures,

I just made these for lunch and my whole family gobbled them up! Delicious! :) thanks for the recipe!

Delicious and simple!  What a great recipe. I made this tonight, doubled it and we all ate it!

Just made these for my toddler &amp; non-broccoli OR cheddar loving husband and they both loved it! Thanks :)

Sooo easy to mak and my little one loved it! Thankyou

Really yummy and so chuffed to have found a recipe with broccoli in it that the kids will actually eat without complaining!

Hi. This recipie sounds great as my little one is refusing  having  any vegis.. wanted to ask instead off using eggs could i substitute with something else?
Thanks

Im so happy I found this recipe. My kid loved it, along with the picky eaters that i babysit from time to time. I could literally not get anything healthy in them. Thanks so much!

Just made these for my 8 months old twins , big success for both of them ! Very easy to make and versatile, will try the other version soon :)

Today we tried this recipe for dinner. It seemed like a yummy alternative to oatmeal and the plain scrambled eggs I was planning. My twins, 15 months old, ate them readily. I had to alter a lot due to lack of ingredients, but the integrity of the recipe was kept. I had broccoli on hand and three cheese in a packet, with three eggs and Pamela's Pancake mix instead of flour because I am gluten-free and I wanted to taste the recipe after putting in the efforts. I always taste what my babies eat unless gluten laden, then my husband does the tasting. :P

Overall, the twins enjoyed and so did my husband and I!

Thanks so much!!

I am repeating this comment as the computer did not put the 5 stars as I chose. It only put 4 for some reason.

Also, I just downloaded the app and have planned already for the week. I am so saved for ideas. Thank you double time from my busy heart! I have to work at home due to COVID19 as I am a teacher and have to teach online. I am so thankful for your recipes. I don't think you realize how much time you just saved me!! &lt;3

This has been my go-to easy meal since my daughter was a baby. Instead of courgettes, though, I’ve always used carrots for a touch of sweetness. Once sliced, the pieces freeze really well too.
