Cauliflower, Broccoli and Cheese Fritters

Let's try these delicious cauliflower, broccoli and cheese fritters out for your baby. 

Cauliflower, broccoli, and cheese fritters offer a nutritious and palatable option for baby-led weaning (BLW) at six months and beyond.

These fritters are packed with essential vitamins, fibre, and calcium to support healthy growth and development.

The soft texture of steamed and grated vegetables makes them easy for little ones to grasp and nibble, promoting fine motor skills.

The combination of flavors, enhanced by the cheese, encourages a diverse palate. Additionally, these fritters are customisable and can be altered to suit individual tastes and ages.

As a versatile and nutrient-rich finger food, cauliflower, broccoli, and cheese fritters are an excellent choice for introducing solids in a baby's journey towards independent eating.
