Meal Ideas for Toddlers Who Don’t Like to Chew

As a dad of one, I know the struggle of trying to get your toddler to eat something other than puree. A lot of toddlers have poor chewing skills, making it a difficult process for them to eat food properly.

Fortunately, there are plenty of simple meal ideas and recipes that cater to toddlers with limited chewing skills. In this blog post, I’m going to share with you some of my favorite meal ideas that are perfect for toddlers who don’t like to chew.

Soft-Boiled Eggs

Soft-boiled eggs are simple to prepare and full of protein, making them a great option for toddlers who don’t like to chew. To prepare a soft-boiled egg, fill a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Gently place the egg in the boiling water and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Take the egg out and let it cool, then peel off the shell and enjoy.

Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a great way to get your toddler to eat some healthy protein. To make scrambled eggs, break an egg into a bowl and mix it with a fork. Heat some butter or oil in a pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are light and fluffy. Serve with a dash of salt and pepper.

Oatmeal Porridge

Oatmeal is an extremely nutritious breakfast option for toddlers. To make oatmeal porridge, combine one cup of oats, one cup of water, and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the oats are cooked, then serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dollop of honey or maple syrup.

Banana Pancakes

Banana pancakes are a delicious and nutritious breakfast for toddlers. Simply mash one banana with a fork, then add one egg and mix until combined. Heat some butter or oil in a pan and pour in the batter. Cook for a few minutes on each side, flipping once, until golden brown. Serve with a sprinkle of sugar and a dollop of jam or yogurt.

Baked Apple

Baked apples are a sweet and delicious way to get your toddler to eat some fruit. To prepare a baked apple, core an apple and fill the center with a mix of raisins, cinnamon, and sugar. Place the apple in a baking dish, then dot with butter and sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until the apple is soft. Serve warm with some yogurt or ice cream.

Smoothies

Smoothies make a great snack or breakfast for toddlers who don’t like to chew. To make a smoothie, simply blend together a cup of yogurt, a banana, a handful of berries, and a spoonful of honey until smooth. Serve with a sprinkle of granola or some chopped nuts for a delicious snack.

Enchiladas

Enchiladas are a great option for lunch or dinner. To make enchiladas, layer a tortilla with cooked chicken, shredded cheese, and a can of diced tomatoes. Roll up the tortilla, then place it in a baking dish. Top with some enchilada sauce, more cheese, and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serve with some sour cream and guacamole.

Fish Sticks

Fish sticks are a classic option for toddlers who don’t like to chew. To make fish sticks, simply dip a piece of fish (like cod or haddock) in beaten egg and then roll it in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Heat some butter or oil in a pan and cook the fish sticks for a few minutes on each side until crispy. Serve with some fresh lemon or tartar sauce.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Grilled cheese sandwiches are a delicious way to get your toddler to eat a healthy meal. To make one, simply butter one side of two slices of bread and place them in a hot pan with the butter side facing down. Top one slice with some shredded cheese, then top with the other slice (butter side facing up). Grill until golden and the cheese is melted, then remove from the heat and enjoy.

These are just a few of my favorite meal ideas and recipes for toddlers who don’t like to chew. I hope these give you some inspiration to make some healthy and delicious meals for your little one.

Happy cooking!
