Recipe Tips
To make allergy-friendly, swap out the ingredients to fit your family’s needs. Choose a gluten-free crunchy cereal to make gluten-free. For a dairy-free option, use unsweetened plant-based yogurt.
Tips for Families Introducing Solids:
These are a great option for babies learning to self-feed. To make the nuggets softer, crush cornflakes into a powder so there are no small pieces in your cereal mixture. Once prepared, cut them into strips to make them soft and easy for your little one to chew. You can pre-dip the nuggets in sauce to introduce your baby to new flavors.
