1. Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden and crispy.
2. While the bread is toasting, wash the peach thoroughly, then cut it in half, remove the pit, and slice the peach into thin wedges or small chunks.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with a pinch of cinnamon if using, until well combined and creamy.
4. Once the toast is done, spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
5. Top the cream cheese with the sliced peaches, arranging them neatly for easy grabbing.
6. Serve immediately and let your toddler enjoy the creamy peach toast!

Why This Recipe is Good for a Toddler

This recipe is suitable for toddlers over 10 months as it provides a good balance of carbohydrates from the whole grain bread, protein from the cream cheese, and vitamins from the fresh peach. The finger food format encourages self-feeding and helps develop motor skills.

Storing Options

This toast is best served fresh. However, if you have leftover cream cheese and peach mixture, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to toast the bread fresh for a crispy texture.

Possible Side Effects or Allergies

Always check for allergies to dairy in the cream cheese and to fruits like peaches. If introducing new foods, consider doing so gradually and observe for any allergic reactions. Whole grain bread should be appropriate for most toddlers, but make sure to choose a brand that is free from added sugars and preservatives.
