Recipe: BLW Banana French Toast (Gluten Free and Added Sugar Free)

Perfect for babies and toddlers, this BLW Banana French Toast Sticks Recipe is gluten free, quick, easy, healthy, refined sugar free and absolutely delicious!

Before you go thinking I'm some kind of super mama that is baking french toast first thing in the morning, think again.... because this is one of my go-to meal prep recipes to have as a quick breakfast (or lunch!) option for Jensen.

If you've got time/energy in the morning, it's simple enough to make right away - but if you're like me and don't, it's the perfect meal prep recipe to make, freeze and reheat. 

These Banana French Toast are one of Jensen's favourite breakfast options - and were especially a hit when he first started solids as he loved feeding hinself. 

Served up with some yogurt and nut butter, it's a delicious easy breakfast with some added nutrients from flaxseeds and hemp seeds. Of course, when you're first starting solids be sure to try all of the different allergens separately, as this recipe combines many of the major allergens.

POST BREAK FOR THE CUTEST THROWBACK PHOTO EVER 😍

This was the first time I made these banana french toast sticks for Jensen.

But it's not just for babies! Whilst this banana french toast is perfect for baby led weaning, it's a delicious breakfast recipe with no added sugar that the whole family will enjoy. 

Serve it with yogurt and a side of fruit, dip it in peanut butter or maple syrup, drizzle over nutella for something decadent - the choice is yours!

Recipe: 2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Scrolls (Gluten Free & Vegan, BLW Friendly)

This is a paid advertisement for ALDI Australia as part of their #ALDIBackToSchool campaign. #ad

It’s no secret that back to school expenses can add up quickly. 

You’ve got uniforms, shoes, books, lunchboxes, drink bottles, school fees, hair cuts, grocery bills to restock the pantry.

So naturally, when ALDI asked if I would help create some Back to School Inso for them, I knew I had to come up with some simple back to school recipes that were quick, easy, kid friendly and budget friendly too. 

This recipe cost less than $10 for all of the ingredients, making 12 scrolls with plenty left to make a second batch. 

Better still? It’s gluten free, nut free and egg free and can also be vegan and dairy free too.

Recipe: BLW Friendly Weetbix Banana Muffins (Gluten Free and Sugar Free)

A baby led weaning friendly recipe, these Weetbix Banana Muffins Recipe is sugar free, gluten free and so easy to make. A BLW fave that babies, toddlers and the whole family will love.

Life with an eight month old is hectic. 

With Jensen now on a mission to walk, he's climbing everything he can which means I can't take my eyes off him for a second. 

My beautiful shaker door cabinets have become finger holds for a baby who seems to think he's some kind of daredevil free climber. If he's not climbing, he's crab crawling through the house at lighting speed, untying shoelaces or chasing toys around.

And if he's not on the move, he's probably eating because oh boy does this kid love his food!

Muffins have become a recent favourite - both as entertainment (Jensen is fascinated with watching me cook) and as a snack and they've been perfect for taking with us on the go. From the zoo to the shopping centre and soon to be taken with us on our vacation, these muffins are the perfect portable snack for both baby and Mum and Dad. 

As a baby friendly recipe, they don't contain any added sugars - but you could easily add some sweetener (maple syrup or sugar) if you have an older baby or just want a sweeter muffin.

Best of all, these muffins use up the weetbix crumbs you get at the bottom of the box - and are great if, like us, you only have one weetbix eater in the family and want to use them up before they go stale.

We use gluten free weetbix for these muffins so that I can eat them to, but you can just as easily use regular weetbix. 

The recipe is also super adaptable. We add chia seeds, flaxseeds and almond meal to ours, but you can swap that out for more flour or mix through hemp seeds, raisins or whatever you like.
