Decadent Infant Meals

BabySteals' Baby Food Recipes Take Inspiration From Desserts

— March 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
Baby food is typically blended to feel pure, fruity and fresh, but these baby food recipes from the BabySteals blog take after decadent desserts—without being unhealthy. Introducing infants to indulgence early are recipes for Coconut Cake, Apple Pie, Funfetti Cake and Strawberry Shortcake baby food blends. Rather than being loaded with unhealthy sugars and processed ingredients, these decadent fruit bowls are only made with wholesome, filling ingredients like bananas, oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt and even breast milk.

When it comes to looking for healthier options than cakes and pies, most adults could probably take note from these recipes. When preparing these treats for her child, Angie's BabySteals comically notes "I may or may not have let my 14-month-old taste test all of these until he was full and then polished them off myself."
