Toddler Food - Beet & Bean Cakes


I forgot to write this recipe down as I made it so this is my best guess as to what I did. They're a little dry but she likes them slightly warm. The beets make them a bit sweet.

You could use any type of beets or beans here. I prefer to use yellow beets because we cloth diaper and don't want stains.

Beet & Bean Cakes
4 small yellow beets, steamed, peeled, and chopped
1/2 cup cooked pinto beans
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
pinch nutmeg

Pulse the beets, beans, rice & spinach in a food processor or blender until they are finely chopped and combined. Stir in the egg & nutmeg. Shape into 2 tablespoon patties. Place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
