Avocado Toast Fingers (BLW) for Babies

Soft avocado on lightly toasted bread makes an easy self-feeding breakfast. Use bread that stays tender rather than becoming hard or brittle, and adjust the strip shape to your baby's grasp.

  • Allergen InformationContains: Wheat

Ingredients

  • 1 slice soft wholegrain wheat bread (check the label for other allergens)
  • 1/4 ripe avocado

Preparation

  1. Read the bread label for wheat and any other allergens, such as sesame, milk, soy or egg. Toast very lightly so the bread is no longer doughy but remains soft, not crisp or hard.

  2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash ripe flesh until creamy. Spread a thin, even layer over the cooled toast.

  3. Cut into narrow graspable strips suited to the baby's skills, checking that the crust and centre are easy to chew. Serve immediately with baby sitting upright and supervised.

Serving by Age

Offer soft, lightly toasted strips with a thin avocado layer; avoid hard crusts or dense gummy bread that can clump. Shape portions for developmental ability, not age alone.

6 months+

Offer soft lightly toasted narrow strips suitable for baby's current grasp, if developmentally ready.

9 months+

Offer soft bite-sized pieces or strips suited to the baby's grasp and chewing skills.

Allergen Information
