Instructions:

  1. Start by prepping the banana. Peel it and cut it into small chunks or slices, depending on your baby's chewing ability.
  2. If using frozen corn, cook it according to package instructions until tender. If using fresh corn, you can steam or boil the kernels until soft, then allow to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the banana and cooked corn. Gently mash them together with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Add the peanut butter to the mixture and blend it gently until well combined. If you choose to use cinnamon, sprinkle a pinch in and mix.
  5. Spread the mixture out onto a plate or tray, shaping it into small bite-sized portions.
  6. Serve the banana, corn, and peanut butter bites to your toddler, letting them pick them up and enjoy!
