Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white beans, cooked and rinsed (no salt)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-4 tbsp water or unsalted vegetable stock

Preparation

  1. Use fully cooked unsalted white beans, rinse if canned and check for hard skins or intact firm beans.

  2. Peel pumpkin, remove seeds and tough fibres, then steam until it crushes easily.

  3. Warm beans with pumpkin and a little safe water or unsalted stock.

  4. Mash or blend thoroughly until no whole round beans or tough skins remain; stir in olive oil.

  5. Adjust to a moist spoonable texture and cool before serving.

Serving by Age

Serve smooth or very softly mashed, with no intact round beans.

8 months+

This recipe is listed for 8m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, mash or blend to a smooth purée with a little warm water or breast milk/formula when a smoother texture is needed.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker mash or with very soft small lumps to encourage chewing skills.

Allergen Information

Plain beans and pumpkin have no intentionally added major common allergen; check canned ingredients.
