Pumpkin and Zucchini Slice

by Danielle Minnebo
Pumpkin and Zucchini Slice

This Pumpkin and Zucchini Slice is perfect for adults and for kids. I bake this a lot for my 11 month old son and he loves this. It provides him with a good serve of vegetables and protein from the eggs and goats feta. When I bake this recipe I usually pour it into a square slice tin to bake as it’s so much quicker than filling a muffin tray. Once baked and cool I slice it into soldiers which are perfect for little hands to pick up. It also makes for a relatively mess free snack or meal, which is always a bonus! If you do have the time this recipe will work in a muffin tin, simply reduce the baking time to 15 minutes.

This is delicious served with my Fennel, Apple & Red Cabbage Slaw. To make this recipe dairy free leave out the goats feta.

This recipe is suitable for babies from 9 months of age. As long as whole eggs have already been introduced. To read more about introducing allergens to babies, Boob to Food has a great resource here.

  • An oldie but a goodie! I’ve just updated this recipe to make it even better. Perfect time for Christmas as well, the raspberries make it extra festive. This is a gluten free recipe but still uses the non-negotiable ingredients when making brownies which are butter and good quality dark chocolate 🍫 😊 recipe in my profile link.
  • Today's lunch for little man, mashed potato rolled into balls, so it's easy for him to grab, zucchini and mushroom cooked in butter with a lamb cutlet. 

Swipe across for the aftermath! All of it was definitely not eaten, in fact a lot ended up with the dog, in his hair and on the floor! But it's important to continue to expose them to vegetables and the foods you don't think they'll like or eat. Even if some meals it doesn't seem like they've eaten very much. This repeated exposure helps them become familiar with the food and eventually enjoy it.
  • This post has been brewing in my mind for a while now. Who do you follow on instagram for nutrition advice and inspiration? Are you aware of the influence they can have on you? How you feel about your body and the food choices you make?

As someone who has come from a background of disordered eating, I see so many red flags when I'm on social media now. I can identify them as red flags because of the work that I have done on myself and also from my nutrition education. I worry that the average user isn't able to identify these red flags. 

As you scroll through your social media feed keep an eye out for these. Then stop and ask yourself why you're following this person and how are they making you feel about yourself.
  • First recipe back for a little while and of course it’s baby/toddler friendly 😀 It’s a really simple Zucchini & Pumpkin Slice, perfect to cut into soldiers so little hands can grab them. I can confirm that they were a hit for lunch today. Recipe link in bio 🌱 😊

  • Hi 👋 it’s been a long while between posts! I’m feeling inspired to jump back on here and share more of my cooking creations and nutrition tips. A few things have turned our life around for the better in the last year, one of them being this little bundle of joy, Jakob Leo Hewitt 🥰 wow, what an insane ride motherhood is! He’s almost 11 months and it’s only now that I feel a bit more like myself again, although forever changed that’s for sure. 

Really looking forward to sharing more of my recipes again, lots of tips around feeding little ones now that I have one of my own. And also sharing more about my journey to motherhood as it wasn’t an easy one. I learned so much in the process and have a lot to share on how you can also empower your journey to motherhood, what is in your control and what you have to surrender too. But more on that later!
