6 Comments on “Roasted Banana + Cinnamon Baby Food Puree”
My 7 month old LOVES this recipe! One of his favorites!
So happy to hear that your little one loves this puree! Not gonna lie, I love eating it over vanilla ice cream;)
Do you heat up the frozen puree or just serve straight after thawing?
You can serve this thawed puree cold or warm, depending on what your baby prefers. I love serving it warm but that is just because I love eating any leftovers 😉
Can you thaw this purée in the microwave?
Yes, you can thaw the puree in the microwave. I would put the frozen puree in a microwave-safe bowl and then microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until just warm.
