Almond and Broccoli Bites

Another quick and easy finger food and snack recipe for the win! These broccoli bites are quick and easy to make, freeze well and are perfect for little hands and gums finding their way around food.

They have almond meal in them, so be mindful this is a top-9 allergen and make sure it has been safely introduced first. The almond meal adds a lovely hit of protein, fibre, calcium, iron and healthy fats, and once almonds are in the mix these bites are a great way to keep that exposure going.
