Lentil Squash Bites

Literally overnight Zoey mastered feeding herself finger foods. She has been able to pinch them for awhile, but wasn't successful transferring them to her mouth and then voila! This new found skill means mom needs to rethink meal time and come up with some creative finger foods. 

These little bites combine a few food groups and were a huge hit with Zoey as they are not only easy to grab, but easy to gum :)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and in a bowl combine:

• 1.5 cups cooked red split lentils
• 3/4 cup cooked & mashed yam
• 1 cup cooked butternut squash
• 1/2 cup baby cereal (I used Baby Gourmet Ancient Grains)
• 2 TBSP avocado oil (or oil of your choice)
• 2 TBSP water
• 1 TBSP apple sauce
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mash all ingredients together. Take a Ziploc bag and cut the corner off. Fill the bag with the mixture and squeeze out bite sized drops onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes. This makes a large batch so I stored some in the fridge for the next couple of days and put the rest into the freezer. Enjoy!
