Well, I wanted to remove the added fat. Since puff pastry already contains fat, I did not want to add even more. So I replaced the butter with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/babyfood\/baby-food-recipes\/ingredient\/fruit\/banana\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"78\">banana<\/a>, and the result is amazing. Plus, banana pairs beautifully with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/babyfood\/baby-food-recipes\/ingredient\/fruit\/almond\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"330\">almond<\/a> without overpowering its flavor! (I ate a slice right after baking. #Oops.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I receive many messages about tree nuts such as almonds. So I want to repeat here that allergists and pediatricians now recommend introducing these foods early in a baby\u2019s solid-food diet to help reduce the risk of developing allergies. However, if there is a known tree nut allergy in your family, talk to your baby\u2019s pediatrician before introducing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light also means less sugar! I used 2 tablespoons of sugar (25 g), compared with at least 1\/3 cup (70 g) in a classic galette des rois. That makes a real difference, because our babies do not need to be eating sweet foods all the time. Nature already gives them plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good galette des rois also needs a crown and a f\u00e8ve charm; I will let you choose those! But please, if you decide to put a f\u00e8ve charm in your galette, be very careful with your baby. Do not give baby the slice containing it; just pretend! It could be a choking hazard and is extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(For babies with cow\u2019s milk protein allergy, some puff pastries exist! &#x1f609; )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is what you need to make this light galette des rois recipe for baby and the whole family (from 10 months):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2 puff pastry sheets (for babies with cow\u2019s milk protein allergy, I used Herta dairy-free puff pastry)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 1\/4 cups almond flour (120 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 egg + 1 egg yolk<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\/2 banana (50 g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 drops bitter almond extract (optional)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 f\u00e8ve charm (optional)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 crown (essential)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by preheating the oven to 410\u00b0F (210\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ecraser-banane-pour-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Mash the banana for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7237\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mash the half banana into a pur\u00e9e with a fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/poudre-amande-pour-cookies-pour-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Almond flour for baby cookies\" class=\"wp-image-7208\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/sucre-poudre-pour-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Granulated sugar for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7236\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/oeuf-entier-pour-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Whole egg for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7233\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/puree-banane-pour-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Banana pur\u00e9e for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7238\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/amande-amere-pour-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Bitter almond extract for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7239\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl: the 1 1\/4 cups almond flour (120 g), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g), the egg, the mashed half banana, and the 4 small drops of bitter almond extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/preparer-frangipane-sur-pate-galette-rois-bebe.jpg\" alt=\"Prepare the frangipane for baby-friendly galette des rois\" class=\"wp-image-7240\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix until you have a smooth, even filling.
