Bread and butter pudding (baby friendly)

Now this is a proper English breakfast (or dessert): a no-sugar bread and butter pudding, perfect for little ones to eat, even if they don’t have any teeth (check out what other 125 foods they can eat).

 

If my last recipes involved some type of French cooking (whether it’s a galette, or a clafoutis), then this one is truly British.

 

No, it’s not the bread that makes it so, but the milk, cream and egg mixture that holds everything together. It is also known by the name of custard. And it’s one of the greatest things on Earth.

 

Normally, you would use sugar to make custard, but since babies can’t have sugar, you can safely leave it out of the recipe.

 

Besides the fact that it is soft enough to chew, here are other advantages of making this:

 

  • you can use any leftover bread; yeah, even that sourdough brown toast that you’ve bought for grandma and she never ate
  • it’s quite nutritious and keeps bellies full until the next meal
  • it’s easy to make even in the morning, with a toddler running around and a baby quietly waiting in the next room.
  • It uses ingredients you already have in the pantry, nothing to run to the supermarket for.
  • gets some iron into their system, because of the eggs

 

If you’re convinced, have a look at the making of video I have put together and the recipe card below.

Looking forward to share more recipes with you soon!

 

Happy weaning!
