• Iron-rich: Red lentils are a fantastic plant-based source of iron, which is especially important after 6 months
• Very soft texture: Perfect for babies who don’t have teeth yet
• Easy to hold: Tot shape encourages self-feeding and fine motor skills
• Gentle on digestion: Simple ingredients that are easy on little tummies
• BLW-friendly: Designed for grasping, gumming, and exploring food
• Sweet potato: Rich in vitamin A for immune support, skin health, and vision
• Red lentils: Provide iron, protein, and fiber to support energy and development
• Oat flour: Adds gentle fiber and helps bind everything together
• Cheese: Contributes calcium, fat, and flavor to support brain and bone development
• Serve warm or at room temperature as a finger food
• Pair with a simple yogurt or avocado mash for dipping and fruit on the side
• Crumble into smaller pieces if preferred
• Cheese: You can omit the cheese entirely if preferred. Simply add 2 extra tablespoons of oat flour to help the mixture bind together.
• Oat flour: I don’t recommend swapping the oat flour in this recipe. If needed you can use a little flour.
• Sweet potato: Swap with butternut squash , pumpkin , or carrot purée for a similar texture.
• Red lentils: Red lentils work best for their softness, but yellow lentils can also be used.
