Apple Breakfast Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 apple
• 1 egg
• sprinkle of cinnamon
• 2 tbsp wholemeal self raising flour
• 1 tsp brown sugar (optional for older kids - would recommend leaving out for under 2's)

Directions

• Grate your apple
• Add egg, cinnamon, flour and sugar.
• Whisk together with a fork.
• Heat a saucepan over medium - low heat and spray with olive oil spray.
• Pour batter into pan in desired size. (This recipe makes roughly 3 fritters so double / triple it depending on your needs.
• Fry until golden brown (approx 2 mins) flip and repeat on the other side.
• Serve with greek yogurt or ricotta and your choice of berries and toppings.

Storage Instructions

Store cooled fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a dry pan or toaster until warmed through, then cool to a safe temperature before serving. A quick dip in yoghurt or milk is a nice way to soften them for younger bubs.

Nutrition Notes

Grated apple brings natural sweetness and fibre, while the egg adds protein and helps bind the fritters. Made with wholemeal flour, these offer a little more fibre than a plain pancake — a balanced way to use up apples bub has rejected whole.

Parent Tip

A brilliant way to use up apples that have been bitten once and abandoned! Grate and freeze leftover apple so you always have some ready for a quick batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

From what age are these suitable?

Most bubs can manage this texture from around 7 months. If needed, soften each fritter by dipping it in yoghurt, milk, water or a puree.

Can I make them egg free?

Yes — a flax egg works well in place of the egg, though the fritters will be a little more delicate to handle.

Should I add the sugar?

We recommend leaving the brown sugar out for under-twos. The grated apple makes them naturally sweet enough.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, they freeze well for up to a month. Reheat until warmed through and cool before serving.
