The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and family reunion, moon viewing and eating moon cakes are certain items.

compared with when I was young, there are really too many kinds of moon cakes on the market now. However, most of these seemingly delicious moon cakes are high in sugar, oil and calories, so babies are not suitable for eating, and adults should also control their consumption.

So today I'm going to share a moon cake suitable for babies.

I think the baby will be very happy if mothers make such a mooncake for their children during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This will not only make the baby feel the festive atmosphere and full of love, but also ensure that the babies eat happily and healthily.

Today, we will make a baby version of healthy moon cakes with mashed sweet potatoes, chestnut kernels, flour and rice flour.

The mashed sweet potatoes are mixed with flour and rice flour and kneaded into dough. A whole chestnut kernel is wrapped in the dough, and the shape and pattern of the moon cake are pressed out in a moon cake mold, and then steamed in a pot. Without an oven, it can be done in a steamer; The ingredients are also very simple, and every household has them.

The taste of the whole moon cake is soft, because the sweet potato itself is soft and waxy, and with the cooperation of rice flour, it tastes soft and is more suitable for babies to chew.

In terms of nutrition, it goes without saying that sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber to prevent constipation, and so on. Mothers are all familiar with it.

let's talk about chestnut kernels in season. It has the reputation of "king of thousands of fruits", rich in unsaturated fatty acids and protein, and the content of vitamin C is among the best among nuts, even more than tomatoes; In addition, it also contains trace elements such as iron, potassium and zinc.

Reference age: baby who is not allergic to food for more than 12 months

Food preparation: moderate gluten flour, rice flour, sweet potato and cooked chestnuts

Production steps:

1 Peel the sweet potato, cut it into thin slices, and steam it in the pot.

sweet potato can also be replaced with purple potato, yam, pumpkin and other ingredients.

2 remove the shell and inner membrane of cooked chestnuts, and set aside the chestnut kernels for later use.

I packed a whole chestnut kernel today. If the baby's chewing ability is not very strong, you can crush the chestnut kernel.

Of course, you can also change chestnut kernels into jujube paste, red bean paste, etc., or even change them into shredded cheese to make brushed moon cakes.

3 steamed sweet potatoes are pressed into mud with a fork.

If older babies eat it, you can add some white sugar to enhance the flavor in this step.

4. Pour the flour and rice flour into the mashed sweet potatoes respectively and stir well.

Everyone buys sweet potatoes with different moisture content, and the water absorption of flour and rice flour is also different. It is suggested that it is best to add flour and rice flour in a small amount for many times to avoid the dough being too dry.

5 knead into smooth dough by hand.

6 take a proper amount of dough, knead it round and flatten it, add chestnut kernels, and finally wrap it round.

7 Brush some oil on the moon cake mold and put it into the wrapped dough.

8 press the mold and finally demould it, so that the shape and pattern of the moon cake are concave.

9 put the moon cakes in a steamer and steam them over fire.

1 After steaming, take it out and the baby version of the healthy moon cake will be ready.
