White Bean and Tomato Fritters

These white bean and tomato fritters are a fun little vegetarian recipe to serve your little ones!

This recipe came together totally on a whim because I had used beans for a previous recipe and needed to use up the rest, and had some tomatoes on hand. I also wanted to create a fritter recipe that didn’t involve cheese, since they basically all did. Although I will be honest, I feel like parm would work really well here lol. But these are delish as is!

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.

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 eggs and wheat.

You can easily swap in dairy free milk. If you’d like to try it with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target. This post highlights other ideas for egg substitutes in recipes. GF breadcrumbs can sub in!

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen.

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

I haven’t tried yet with any subs or add ins, but let me know if you do! If your little one can have parm and you’d like to add that in, I’d suggest adding in 1/4 cup.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby
