This is a quick one: toast spread with mild ricotta and topped with mashed raspberry, naturally sweet enough that it needs nothing else added.
Mash the raspberries properly rather than leaving them whole. It is a small step that makes this a much easier, safer bite for small mouths.

method
Toast the bread lightly, until just golden, not hard or overly crisp.
Mash the raspberries well with a fork, checking for and removing any larger seed-heavy clumps if your toddler is sensitive to texture.
Spread the ricotta evenly over the warm toast.
Spoon the mashed raspberry over the ricotta.
Cut into small fingers or triangles, and let cool to a safe warm temperature before serving.
chef's tips
- Mash the raspberries thoroughly rather than leaving them whole; whole raspberries and their firmer little clusters can be tricky for a toddler to manage safely.
- Toast the bread lightly rather than until very crisp and hard, so it is easier for a toddler to bite through without large brittle shards breaking off.
- No added sugar is needed. Ricotta is naturally mild and the raspberries bring their own sweetness and tartness.
- Cut into fingers rather than leaving a whole slice, both for easier self-feeding and for a more manageable bite size.
