Roasted Banana + Apple with Cinnamon Baby Food Puree
This is hands down my favorite baby food puree for when you and your baby need a special little bite of goodness. So don’t ask me why it has taken me this long to share it with you, but I will be happy to stick out my hand for you to gently smack because I am sure I deserve it.
There is just something amazing that happens when you roast bananas and apples together that are sprinkled with a fair amount of cinnamon.
Magic. Pure and simple magic.
I am not going to lie when I tell you that this tastes like warm apple pie, without any of the quilt or added ingredients. Serve it warm, by itself or with a dense greek yogurt. But let me warn you that once you start, you will not be able to put down the spoon. It is really that good.

But roasting bananas with apples is just the start. A humble beginning, because once you start with this recipe you will realize that the options of pure puree bliss are endless. You can toss in blueberries, strawberries, cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums or really any other delicious fruit you have on hand. I would say that you can mix in some yummy vegetables as well, but really this puree is meant to act like a little dessert for your little one. So enjoy it’s sweet magic as is and leave the veggies for another dish.

Do you leave the peels on the apples when you puree?
Hello Kim,
It is totally up to you – they will blend up really smooth if using a good blender. I do usually peel them for when baby is just starting out, but then leave the peels on when baby gets a little older.
Hope that helps!

Could formula or coconut milk be used instead of water, stock, or breast milk? 🙂
Yes! You can use formula in any recipe when blending. Just make sure it is canned coconut milk.

Hi! I’m just discovering your site. Wow, roasted bananas?! Is there a particular benefit to roasting them, and can I freeze a roasted banana puree? Do you recommend a particular level of ripeness? I have some bananas that are very ripe (like what you’d use to make banana bread) and I’d love to use them to make a puree rather than having to toss them!
No nutritional benefits but roasting them makes them beyond delicious! I still make this for my 3 and 5 year for dessert, it’s that good. You can use any bananas but the very ripe ones might not take as long to roast. You can freeze them, but they might discolor slightly when reheated. I froze them and the slight brown color never bothered my kiddos.

Hi can you use canned coconut cream at all ?
yes, that would work great.
