Vegetables like zucchini are a great first food for babies as they are easy to add to savory pancakes, muffins, and fritters. In today’s post, I will share an easy zucchini fritter recipe for babies and toddlers that is made using the ingredients in your pantry.
I usually make fritters when I need to clear my fridge of leftover vegetables from the week. Any leftover vegetables go wonderfully in a fritter using simple ingredients like eggs, flour, and cheese to bind.
This recipe is also rich in protein and fiber both essential for growing children. Zucchini fritters are a great way to hide vegetables from picky eaters who love this as a meal with a little great yogurt or ketchup as a dip.
