Avocado Toast Fingers for Tiny Tummies
Creamy avocado spread on soft toast, cut into easy-to-hold fingers. A healthy and delicious way for little ones to enjoy good fats and practice self-feeding.
Ingredients
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1 slice soft bread (whole wheat or white)
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Gather your ingredients: avocado, bread, and lemon juice (if using).
Lightly toast the bread: Set your toaster to a light setting and toast the bread until it's just slightly firm, not crunchy. Alternatively, use soft, untoasted bread.
Cool the toast: Allow the toast to cool slightly so it's comfortable to handle.
Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out 1/4 of the avocado flesh.
Mash the avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it's smooth and creamy.
Add lemon juice (optional): If desired, add a tiny squeeze (1/8 teaspoon) of lemon juice to the mashed avocado. This helps prevent browning and adds a hint of flavor.
Mix well: Stir the avocado and lemon juice together thoroughly.
Spread the avocado: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over one side of the cooled toast, creating a generous layer.
Cut into fingers: Using a knife, carefully slice the avocado-topped toast into 4-5 finger-sized strips.
Check the size: Make sure the fingers are easy for your little one to hold and gum.
Serve immediately: Offer the avocado toast fingers to your baby right away.
Supervise closely: Always supervise your baby while they are eating to ensure they are managing the food safely.
Encourage self-feeding: Let your baby explore the textures and flavors of the avocado toast fingers.
Enjoy the smiles: Watch your little one enjoy this nutritious and tasty snack!
Safety Notes
- Adult supervision required during preparation and feeding.
- Ensure the toast is not too hard to prevent choking.
- Monitor for any signs of allergic reaction, especially if introducing avocado or wheat for the first time.
