It’s the season for pumpkins and the flavor of these fritters will really get you and your toddler in the fall mood! I always keep a couple of cans of pumpkin puree in my pantry as well as rolled oats, so this recipe is a convenient one. This recipe is healthy, full of texture, flavorful and hardy. I make this recipe for my toddler; however, I also love to eat them with her because of how scrumptious they are.

These fritters are perfect for your toddlers and kids not only because they are easy to eat, but they are oh so healthy. The oats and pumpkin make these fritters incredibly fiber rich and the egg adds protein. The ginger and cinnamon are also so good for digestive health!
These are fun to plate for your little one as well. I like to place the fritters on the plate and then using a small cookie scoop, scoop the maple yogurt and place on top of the fritters. Or you can put the yogurt on the side for dipping.
The maple yogurt is not only full of protein, but the maple syrup adds a healthy dose of sweetness and just completes the fritter dish. You can serve these fritters to your baby 8 months+!
How To
Whisk your pumpkin, egg and maple syrup. Add in the oats, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Cook and make your yogurt. Serve warm!
