Cakes for babies

Baking Cakes

So the Easter holidays are officially over, but we have a mountain of chocolate on the pantry still waiting to be eaten. I'm one of those people that get really excited about holidays. Christmas, Easter and birthdays always are a highlight on my calender. It's bubs first Easter this year, so we did our usual church on Good Friday and exchanges a bit of chocolate on Easter Sunday and to my surprise I had a few people saying what shall I get the baby? Surely at 10 months old she is too young for chocolate?
I certainly felt uncomfortable giving my bub chocolate so I decided to bake her a healthier alternative.

These little cakes are made from a few ingredients that I am fine with giving her and it doesn't contain any gluten.

1 Apple, stewed

2 Cups of Almond meal

2 eggs

1 Teaspoon Baking powder

a pinch on Cinnamon

a pinch of mixed spice

a teaspoon of honey (optional)

Method:  preheat oven to 180°C.

1. Peel and cut apple in small pieces.
2. Place apple in a pan and add water until apple is just covered, put on medium heat until apple is soft
3. when cooled blend the apple using a blender or hand whiz.
4. transfer apple to a bowl, add Almond meal and mix with a spoon
5. add eggs, baking soda and cinnamon and mixed spice and mix it all together.
6. add honey if you desire.
7. get a tablespoon of mixture and place it on lined oven tray.

Bake these for 10-12 minutes or until the top becomes golden. I had to give these to bub crumbled up because they can get stuck in her mouth.These would be great with a spoonful of yoghurt on the side!

These can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days and the batter can be frozen.

Have Fun!
