Description

These savory squash cakes are soft, flavorful, and perfect for babies exploring finger foods or anyone looking for a simple, veggie-packed dish.


Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cup of butternut squash puree (Homemade, Canned baby food or Frozen)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup of panko. * Use an additional 1/4 cup if you used canned baby food or frozen as this mixture is a little more liquid

  • 3/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro ( 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour- optional (helps to hold the cakes together when using premade squash puree.

  1. Mix all your ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Heat oil in medium pan on medium high heat.
  3. Form 1 tbsp of the mixture into one pancake and add to the pan.
  4. Cook about 5 at a time depending on the size of your pan.
  5. Let them cook on one side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil and to cool before serving.
  7. Serve room temperature or warm them in oven/microwave.
  8. Store in fridge for as long as 3 days.
