By Marika Day. These soft pear pikelets are easy for little hands to hold and perfect for baby-led weaning. They are only slightly sweet (depending on how ripe the pear is) and this pear pikelets recipe provides essential nutrients plus are a vibrant green colour! Serve in strips or halves based on your baby’s age, and top with nut butter or Greek yoghurt and a sprinkle of hemp seeds for extra flavour and nutrients.
