Baby Banana Custard
A tried-and-true recipe, designed by Registered Dietitians with the nutrition your baby needs. Perfect for a six month old baby or even your toddler! Baby banana custard for the win.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup breastmilk or prepared infant formula or if child is older than 9 months: whole cow’s milk or alternative
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Mash the banana really well with a fork. Add in the egg yolks and mash with fork to combine. Then, stir in the milk, flaxseed and cinnamon. Let this stand for 5 minutes to allow the ground flaxseed to thicken up just slightly. Then, mix again one more time.
- Pour into two custard dishes – or use several if you’d like!
- Place the dishes into a baking pan.
- Pour water into baking pan until the water level reaches halfway up the custard dish. This is called a hot water bath.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Every oven works slightly differently, so keep that in mind!
- You can serve this after it has cooled. Or, keep it in the fridge for a few hours to serve it your baby cold. There’s nothing wrong with serving safe food that is cold!
Notes
This keeps in the fridge for about 2 days.
