🍌 Nutritious Ingredients

Every ingredient in this recipe adds something beneficial for growing little bodies.

Bananas
Ripe bananas naturally sweeten the slice while providing potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. They also help keep the loaf wonderfully moist.

Yogurt
Yogurt adds protein, calcium, and healthy fats while creating an incredibly tender texture. Full-fat yogurt is a wonderful choice for young children because healthy fats support growth and brain development.

Eggs
Eggs provide high-quality protein, healthy fats, and choline, an important nutrient that supports brain development.

Flour
Flour gives the slice structure while providing carbohydrates for energy.

Cinnamon
A touch of cinnamon adds warm flavor without the need for added sugar.

👶 Perfect for BLW & Self-Feeding

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is for little hands to hold.

After baking the batter in a loaf pan, simply slice it into strips or small rectangles depending on your baby’s age and feeding stage.

The slices are soft enough to gum, chew, and safely practice self-feeding while still holding together well.

🍽️ Ways to Serve

This banana yogurt slice is incredibly versatile and works for:

• Breakfast
• Morning snack
• Afternoon snack
• Lunchboxes
• On-the-go snacks
• Healthy dessert

Serve it on its own or alongside fresh fruit, nut butter (age appropriate) or a drizzle of maple syrup for older kids.

🔄 Substitutions

This banana yogurt slice for baby is easy to customize with a few simple swaps:

• Bananas: Very ripe bananas work best for natural sweetness and moisture. If needed, you can substitute with shredded apple.
• Yogurt: Full-fat plain yogurt is recommended, but Greek yogurt, dairy-free yogurt, or coconut yogurt all work well.
• Eggs: I haven’t tried substituting the eggs in this recipe yet.
• Flour: White spelt flour, all-purpose flour, or oat flour can all be used, with oat flour I recommend putting about 3 tbsp more.
• Cinnamon: Omit if preferred
