Hummus is always a go-to in my house because it is so quick to make and a great source of protein. This is obviously adult friendly, but it is also baby and toddler friendly! I love to make it for a quick lunch when I have nothing in the house to make. I will usually pair it with with some veggies and cheese and crackers for a high protein meal.
I call it a Simple Hummus because it really is simple. The few ingredients that is used for the recipe already gives it so much flavor that you don’t need to add anything else unless you want to!
For Littles
My 11 month old daughter absolutely loves this hummus and devours it every single time I make it. I love to roast some veggies when I serve this to her and will try to show her how to dip the veggies into the hummus. I will roast carrots and zucchini to name a couple, but you can roast whatever you have in your fridge.
Above is a picture of a plate I gave my daughter. I was trying to copy a plate I would make myself that goes with hummus!
This is the perfect hummus recipe to start your baby on because the flavors in this hummus aren’t overwhelming, but they are enough to hit your baby’s taste buds!
When your baby or toddler is ready for more flavors, feel free to add a clove of garlic or garlic powder or even some tahini!
