Finding appropriate toddler foods can be difficult so I’m sharing my favourite toddler friendly zucchini recipes. I’ve been so lucky that my daughter seems to like everything we have given her. There have been a few things that she doesn’t appear to like, but I’ve noticed it comes down to the texture. There have also been a few cases of things not agreeing with her little tummy. But she seems to have grown out of most of those.
It doesn’t take long before your toddler wants to feed them self so having bite-size food is a must.
Zucchini slice was one of the first combined foods I made for my daughter. And it has always been a big hit. She loved it so much that as soon as she saw it she would refuse to eat anything else, so we had to hide it until she had eaten other foods first.
In January I was gifted half of a very large zucchini. With that, I made a zucchini slice, a batch of Zucchini Greek yoghurt muffins and a batch of Double Choc Zucchini Muffins. All of these went into the freezer to avoid wasting any. They all defrost really well, either in the fridge or in the microwave. The surprising thing is you wouldn’t know that there are any vegetables in the chocolate muffins!
Zucchini Slice
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 cup tasty cheese, grated
- 1 cup self raising flour
- 5 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Combine the grated zucchini, carrot, and cheese in a bowl
- Add the flour and mix, ensuring everything is coated in the flour.
- Add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
- Line a slice tin with baking paper. Aletnatively, grease a muffin tray to make individual serves.
- Pour into lined slice tin or muffin tray.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden on the top.
- Allow the zucchini slice to cool before cutting.
- If you are freezing the zucchini slice, cut it into portions then put it back into the slice tin and into the freezer. After approximately 24 hours, removed the tin from the freezer and distribute to ziplock bags.
Notes
I like to beat the eggs in a bullet blender.
