There are many campaigns encouraging the inclusion of eggs in the diet, and for good reason! Eggs are a very nutritious food, and both the yolk and the white contain truckloads of vitamins and protein. Here is a look at the benefits of eating eggs:
- Eggs contain all the essential amino acids, which are very important for growth
- Eggs are a good source of vitamins D, B6 and B12
- Eggs are also rich in trace elements like iron, copper, selenium and zinc
- The protein from eggs is among the most easily digestible for young children
However, getting kids to eat eggs is a different story altogether! But Moms are among the most inventive souls on earth, and we can always find workarounds to beat our kids’ fussiness! One such workaround is this Egg Pudding for Babies, made without sugar! It’s a great way to introduce eggs to toddlers who don’t eat them on their own.
To know more about giving your baby egg, refer to this post. This recipe contains milk which is recommended for kids above the age of one year, so if you’re making this for your baby, substitute the milk with formula or breast milk at the end.
Egg Pudding for Babies
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 60 ml milk
- 2 drops of vanilla essence (optional)
- 1 pinch of Cinnamon (optional)
Method
1. Beat the egg well with a fork. Add the milk and beat again till well mixed.
2. Add vanilla or cinnamon to the egg-milk mixture and beat again to combine.
3. Pour the mixture into a small heat proof bowl and steam it. You can use an idli cooker or a steamer. If using a pressure cooker, add sufficient water and cook for 1 to 2 whistles.
4. Serve the pudding warm.
For a thicker texture for toddlers, you can add some corn flour to the mixture. You can also make this pudding only with egg whites for a less yellowish pudding. For older kids, you can also add some syrup or honey for added sweetness. This is a lovely dessert for the cold winter months, and is so yummy, that you don’t need to add anything to it!

Welcome 🙂
For egg pudding can FM be used?
Please use cow’s milk only. Formula milk is not to be cooked.
Hi, I cook for a a nursery and think the little ones would love this recipe. However as I need to do it for 80 children have you ever made it in larger amounts for instance in the oven?
n
Hi,
We have not done in large quantities. You can try and share your precious feedback 🙂
Can I freeze this or how long does the egg pudding stay fresh ?
Please give it fresh 🙂
I love this pudding from my childhood days. I have been waiting for my son to turn one so that I would give him since doctor said cow milk should not be given. He is 11months now may I give him? Is cow milk should not be given only in the liquid format and can it be given in recipes with pudding, milkshakes, Ice creams
Hi,
Cow’s milk can be given only after 1 year dear. It includes foods made with cow’s milk. You can give curd, paneer etc.
R we supposed to use FM or cow’s milk in mixing with egg to make pudding?
Hi,
Please add cow’s milk in this recipe.
Which milk Can I use for 10 month old baby
Dear you can add the milk you are giving, if you are breastfeeding you can express that and add.
Hi Dr.Hema, can it be given to a 8.5 month old baby?
Yes dear. Try only small quantities first.
Hi Hema,
I have tried this without vanilla essence and it came out well. My baby liked it. A small question do we need to cover the bowl of egg mixture with lid while steaming. ( I have used an idli cooker)
Also can I feed this to her daily.
Well, not a great idea to feed daily. The baby will not enjoy. Check the food chart on our site for your kid.
Dear sorry for a late response, yes you have to cover so it cooks well.
Please tell me …can we add honey in mixture before steaming for toddler
Hi Preeti, you can add honey after cooking the pudding for your toddler.
