Prawn Fritters
Dairy free, Nut free, Protein rich, Soy free, Vegetarian
About the recipe
These Prawn Fritters are a quick, nutrient-dense meal perfect for baby-led weaning—or even a fun lunch for toddlers! Prawns are an excellent source of protein, iodine, and omega-3s, and when combined with egg, spelt, and a touch of carrot, they create the perfect little pancake that’s soft and easy to handle. Coriander adds a gentle burst of flavour, but you can skip it if your little one prefers simple tastes. These also freeze well—ideal for busy days!
Allergen Note
Prawns are a top allergen (shellfish). Always introduce allergens one at a time and not in the same meal—avoid serving these patties the first time you’re offering egg, wheat (spelt), or shellfish. If your child hasn’t yet had prawns, offer a small amount on its own the first time and observe for any reaction.
