Bananas and Cream Crescents

These bananas and cream crescents could not have been easier to make and came out SO delicious!!

I was seriously impressed with how these turned out. So so yummy, and simple to make!

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces. Please be mindful of the added sugar and perhaps omit if younger.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has wheat and dairy (it may have eggs, I’m not 100% sure what the ingredients are in the crescent dough)

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge for 3 days, and we didn’t have any leftovers after that to freeze 🙂

To reheat I toasted in our toaster oven for a few minutes until warm. Definitely best served warm!!

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

I haven’t tried yet with any subs or add ins, but let me know if you do! I bet most fruit that can be easily mashed could work in place of the bananas.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Parchment paper – I buy precut online because I find dealing with a roll of parchment to be the most annoying thing and it’s just so much easier to have it cut for you! Comes in a variety of sizes.
