Zucchini Pea and Rice Balls- Baby Finger Food

EagleRocker's Note:

Still on my quest for foods that my 10 month old will eat! These balls were a hit last night! I also tried baking some of them, but he preferred the mushy consistency! *Note: i actually used infant formula instead of milk.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 24

• ½ cup brown rice
• ½ zucchini
• ¼ cup peas
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup organic whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons butter , melted

Directions:

1. cook rice
2. steam veggies.
3. combine rice, veggies, and milk in food processor and puree.
4. Melt butter. Add butter and flour to puree.
5. If baking, pre-heat oven to 350. Roll tablespoon size balls and press with a fork a la peanut putter cookies. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown. Makes 24 baked "cookies".
6. If rolling balls, roll balls slightly larger than a pea (or what your child can handle). The batch will make A LOT of balls, but they can be put in the fridge for four days, or frozen for a month.

I was excited to try this recipe - it sounds great - but here's the problem: I followed the recipe exactly and it came out like soup. There is way too much milk in this recipe - I think it's a typo. There was no way it was anywhere close to being able to be rolled into balls. Maybe the author could post the revision - I'm quite sure I followed the recipe exactly..
