CHECK freshness of the Greek yogurt (smell, thickness) Break the THICK Greek yogurt into regular 2 cm pieces (NOT liquid) Wash and dice the button mushrooms (remove tough stems) Cook the oat flour as a porridge (5 min) Remove all seeds from melon, cut into regular cubes
Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature)
Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Do NOT buy liquid yogurt (won't hold shape) Do not cut too large: choking hazard NEVER use liquid yogurt (sticks won't form) Always remove tough mushroom stems Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys NEVER serve yogurt if baby is lactose-allergic Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) CRITICAL: use THICK Greek yogurt (it must hold shape) Always remove mushroom stems (tough) Check LABELS of all products Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Mix the oat flour porridge and button mushrooms in a large bowl Add the Greek yogurt pieces and melon cubes, mix gently Add the plain yogurt as binder (gentle) Pour in the olive oil and chopped sweet pepper Mix with a wooden spoon (gentle) Shape the sticks with damp hands (length 5 cm) Coat each stick with a thin layer of oat flour Place on a tray lined with parchment Let rest 5 min in the fridge (helps hold shape) Large bowl Wooden spoon Fork Clean hands Tray lined with parchment Do not overmix: yogurt breaks Do not add too much flour: sticks become too dense Do not forget to shape tightly: otherwise it crumbles Do not make sticks too big: max 6 cm length Do not leave air in the sticks Always check yogurt freshness If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp oat flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Shape with damp hands: the sticks won't stick Make uniform sticks for even cooking Vary sizes according to age For 24-36 months: bigger sticks 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan Lightly oil a baking sheet Arrange the sticks leaving 2 cm between each Bake in the middle of the oven for 14 min (yogurt is soft, watch carefully) Check cooking halfway through (gently) Meanwhile, prepare the sweet pepper sauce: yogurt + chopped sweet pepper + 1 tsp olive oil Mix the sauce well and chill Remove the sticks when golden (carefully) Let cool 3-4 min Test the temp with a finger: warm Serve immediately with the sauce on the side Baking sheet Pastry brush Fork Spatula Small bowl Timer Do not forget to preheat Do not overcrowd the sheet Do not open the oven in the first 8 min Do not overcook: yogurt becomes rubbery Do not use tongs: too rough, breaks the sticks Do not serve sauce too warm (kills probiotics) Check cooking: breadcrumbs golden, yogurt heated through For 12-18 months: more moist cooking For 24-36 months: more golden cooking If browning too fast: lower to 160°C Yogurt is soft: handle gently Sauce: serve cold to preserve probiotics 4
FINAL CHECK: confirm baby has NO lactose allergy Prepare a fresh melon cube garnish (no seeds) Arrange the warm sticks on baby's plate (gently) Add small melon pieces around (no seeds) Serve the sweet pepper sauce in a small separate bowl Show how to pick up the sticks Serve warm Watch baby during the meal Monitor allergy signs (rash, swelling - lactose) Put leftovers in the fridge Baby plate Small bowl + suction cup Spoon Non-slip cloth Phone (emergency) Do not serve burning hot Always check for lactose allergy before serving Always remove melon seeds before serving Do not leave baby alone Do not reheat several times NEVER serve yogurt to a lactose-allergic baby Serve warm: flavors are more developed Melon adds color and natural sweetness For 12-18 months: cut sticks in half Silicone bowl with suction cup Offer 2-3 different sides Keep phone nearby in case of allergic reaction
