White Bean, Sweet Potato & Carrot Purée for toddlers

Preparation: 20
Cooking:

Ingredients

1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced 1/2 an apple, diced 1 Tsp. pure maple syrup 1 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar 2 Tbsp. melted butter

Method

1. In a medium pot, boil the sweet potato, apple and carrots. When the vegetables are soft (test them with a fork; if the fork inserted in the vegetables goes in and out easily, they are done), remove from the water and set in dish. Discard the water in the pot. 2. Return the vegetables to the pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients together until just combined. 3. Spoon the mixture into a food processor or blender (you could also use a hand-held immersion blender). Pulse the mixture until it’s smooth. If you want some small bits of vegetables for texture (for an older baby or toddler), do not pulse as long. 4. When you have reached the desired consistency, spoon into a bowl and serve.
