Here is another easy finger food recipe that babies can enjoy from as early as 6 months. This pea fritter recipe has only 3 ingredients and is dairy and gluten free, in case your little one has food allergies, and is packed with veggies and protein from egg and chickpea flour.
If food allergy is not a concern for your family, remember that it’s not recommended any more to avoid potential allergens when starting solids, unless it has been recommended by a doctor.
You can refrigerate the green pea fritters for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month. Thaw them for a few hours in the refrigerator before use and reheat on a pan or in a microwave.
