Cinnamon toasty fingers recipe
This quick and tasty cinnamon toast is a great finger food breakfast for your baby to practice self-feeding while trying new flavours. For the over-5s in the family, just switch to reduced-fat vegetable spread and slice the banana instead of mashing.

Ingredients
- ¾ medium slice wholemeal bread
- 1tsp vegetable oil spread
- Pinch of ground cinnamon

Method
Toast the bread in the toaster until golden brown. Meanwhile peel and mash the banana.
Spread the vegetable spread evenly over the toasted bread, then sprinkle the cinnamon.

Weaning tip
Finger foods help babies get used to different textures and also help develop hand-eye coordination.
