Baked fish sticks

Ingredients

• • 1 Cod fillet
• • 1 Egg
• • 4 tbsp Oat flour

Good to know

Contains egg and fish: introduce each on its own first, and check carefully for bones.

The strips are soft enough to mash between fingers; flake the fish fully for a baby still on early textures.

Best fresh; the coating goes soggy overnight.

No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.

Instructions

1. Cut a cod fillet into finger-width strips, running your fingers over each strip to check carefully for bones.
2. Beat 1 egg in a bowl.
3. Put 4 tbsp oat flour on a plate.
4. Dip each strip in egg, then roll it in the oat flour.
5. Bake at 400 F on a lined tray for 10 to 12 minutes, until the fish flakes and the coating is set but not hard.
6. Break one open to re-check for bones and let it cool before serving.
