Healthy recipes to cook with toddler

6 replies

Hi,
I have a 2yr old DS who loves to "help" with baking. So far we've made cherry scones, cookies, cupcake, sponge cake, brownies, mini tortilla pizzas, sandwiches & toast (mainly spreading) etc
I'm not a great cook at the best of times so need simple recipes I can adapt for cooking with him - probably snacks rather than main meals just for speed and handyness as dinner time can be quite hectic at the best of times lol .
I have found most of the things we've made so far have been quite sugary & unhealthy. If anyone has any tried and tested healthy recipes for cooking with your child please share :)

Fish cakes
Risotto (lots of stirring!)
Sweetcorn or courgette fritters
Bread rolls
Scone pizzas
Sausage rolls with ready roll pastry
DIY fish fingers/chicken nuggets
Home made chips (peel, chop, coat in oil, spread out)

I bought 3yo DS a special kids knife which he can’t cut himself on and he loves massacring a pepper or whatever

We made cornflake chicken nuggets. My LOs enjoyed crushing the cornflakes and coating the chicken realfood.tesco.com/recipes/cornflake-chicken-nuggets.html
My toddlers used to like mixing tuna and sweetcorn with mayo as a jacket potato topping.
