Can Babies Eat Sweetcorn Fritters
Yes, sweetcorn fritters baby recipe is great as long as the ingredients are suitable for their age and free from added salt or sugar from 6 months old.
Sweetcorn fritters are a great recipe for babies because they offer a soft texture that is easy to chew and swallow, making them ideal for baby-led weaning. A great way for little ones to discover new textures and flavours.
They are naturally sweet, which appeals to little taste buds, and provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants.
These fritters can be made with simple, yummy ingredients, allowing parents to control what goes into their baby's food, ensuring it is both nutritious and delicious finger foods for baby.
Ingredient information
Egg - I have used a free range egg for this recipe, you could use a large egg too if that is all that you have.
Flour - I have used plain flour for this recipe, if you had self raising flour you could this too. For a gluten-free option you could use gluten-free flour or almond flour or oat flour.
Sweetcorn - I have used canned sweetcorn for this recipe. You can use frozen sweetcorn if cooked beforehand, or fresh sweetcorn cooked too.
Oregano - I have used dried oregano for a bit of extra flavour in the recipe. If you wanted to use mixed herbs or Italian seasoning you can use these as alternatives as well.
Olive oil - I have used a little oil to coat the pan so that the fritters do not stick to the frying pan.
Serving suggestion
The fritters would be great served with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. Perfect for little hands to hold.
The fritters are great for lunch boxes too as they can be kept in an airtight container.
Other recipes you may like: Broccoli fritters, carrot fritters or apple fritters.
Storage instructions
The fritters once cooled, can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you wanted to reheat the fritters, you will only be able to reheat once from the fridge.
I would suggest heating them up in the oven on a baking sheet, at 180 degrees, for 15 minutes. Leave to cool before serving to your baby.
To store in the freezer, leave the fritters to cool and store in an airtight container or in an airtight freezer bag.
They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Once defrosted you will not be able to re freeze.
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Large bowl - Definitely choose a stainless steel one - they are lighter than the stone or glass ones and very easy to clean.
Airtight container - I much prefer the click-shut lids on these containers compared to others. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe and BPA free, so very suitable for food use.
Frying pan - I love the non-stick surface of this particular frying pan and it’s suitable for all types of hob.
